 finger feeder damage, for certain. Kind of looks like a meteor shower going on in the background, doesn't it. Fun find! |

Coop...I don't know if you remember the coin I had with finger feeder damage going to opposite way...are they worth anything if they are?

There is not much premium put on Feeder Finger Damage coins because they arent widely collected. Unless these were cataloged and with a collector base, I dont think there is any more of a premium for having the gauges go the other way. The feeder fingers did beat up some dies pretty harshly and even the pieces with the most damage don't command much over a couple of dollars |

Jayman931: I remembered that coin when I made my comment. I then edited it as the direction was the normal one. You might repost it. I didn't save it for my educational files. I've got 3045 on my image host and forgot to save that one. The Feeder Finger Damage can be polished off. So the marks are just temporary. So the question of the day is: What causes Feeder Finger Damage? |

Jayman931: Thanks for the image. I would like to see an image that show more of the surface of the coin. That would be helpful. I found one that is in the same direction, but figured out it was just die damage.  |

The big gouge on the left of the memorial is pretty stunning.

Jayman931: Here is the edited images:   Question on your coin: Is the alignment correct on your coin, or is it rotated 180 degrees? That might explain something to me. |

I just checked and unfortunately(maybe fortunately?) the alignment is correct. I have never found any coin with alignment that wasn't within mint tolerance.
