Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 2:56 pm Hey Guys, could you take a look at this and tell me what you think. Finger Damage? planchette error? Just seems odd and I haven't run across anything like it before. 2.51g No other damage. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 6:05 pm Might be. It doesn't show up on the devices, does it? Report this Post to the Staff
Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 7:53 pm No, not on top. It almost looks like there is no 'flow' lines. just a blank. If you can make out from the pictures. it looks smooth, not 'frosted' I guess. Not sure how to describe it. Edited by Dar 02/10/2015 7:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 7:56 pm I think you got it right Dar - Feeder Finger Damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2015 11:59 pm I agree. Feeder Finger Damage. Maybe grease on the die or in the lines of the damage left the coin dark colored. Report this Post to the Staff
Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 02/11/2015 7:01 pm ok, what about the 'smoothness' ? almost looks as if there was not enough psi during the strike except that the devices seem fine. Weight is good, Obv seems fine. But no 'texture' under/around the devices. Coop, the 'dark' colored area is actually more mirror like, polished even. As if the die never touched the planchete in those areas? ? Edited by Dar 02/11/2015 7:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 12:33 am I've seen this on polished die examples. It is sometimes very shiny. Almost looking like a proof coin in those areas. The fields were only affected as the outside of the die is the fields. So that is whey it disappears behind the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
ilikeikes Pillar of the Community United States 1205 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 03:08 am Is Finger damage on my 1962 roosie also? I don't think die gouges exist on modern coins like this? A mix of raised and flattish lines. Report this Post to the Staff
