Note they are in the target area of the lower bust areas. Feeder finger scrapes are in a NW-SE direction across the fields. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 07/14/2013 08:21 am This is not a case of intentional die abrasion. These are die scrapes or die dents that incorporate a scraping action. They may be related to the feeder mechanism. Die dents and die scrapes of this type can be found in Lincoln cents from 1917 to 1945 and have emerged from every minting facility. So whatever produced them was most likely a standard component of the presses used during this period of time. Error coin writer and researcher.
