BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 01/27/2012 12:07 pm These lines are called die scrapes. It occurs when the feeder arm accidentally comes in contact with the anvil die. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff

wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 01/27/2012 12:40 pm Pretty cool find. Are these fairly common errors and are they worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff
Magers Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 01/27/2012 1:00 pm I assume it doesn't carry a premium and that it's similar to a die chip or die gouge... Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/27/2012 1:29 pm I wouldn't call Feeder Finger Damage common, but it is not an ultra-rare occurrence either. A die would not be taken out of service for a small chip or gouge but this would certainly warrant die resurfacing or replacement if severe enough. I would also expect it to have a modest premium.

Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 01/27/2012 5:31 pm Well, not to undermine what biokemist said, but sometimes I find dozens of these in my searching.Always tossed them because they seemed pretty common around here, especially on the 2004-2006's.
