wblab2016 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/14/2016 7:26 pm Hi. I'm a new member. I have a question about a 1924-D Lincoln Cent with what appears to be a raised edge that runs down from the motto through the N of ONE and ending at the N of CENT. The N of ONE of definitely thicker on the deep side of the edge, appearing to be embedded in the raised area. I've looked on error-ref and cannot find an explanation. Any ideas? Thanks!! -b Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 12:31 am I've seen this before on Wheat cents. I've always associated with Feeder Finger Damage even thought it is a different direction that ones we see on the Memorial cents. Mike Diamond also mentions on his site: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=feeder Edited by coop 07/15/2016 10:25 am Report this Post to the Staff
wblab2016 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 01:02 am Thanks, Richard. So you're saying accidental die abrasion, perhaps from continual die scraping against a feeder? The error-ref site describes the result as "generally straight, relatively wide, and rather uniform". That seems to fit the bill. Thanks for pointing me to that. And thanks to all who replied. --Bill Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 09:32 am Thanks for the link Coop. So it is a struck through aluminum. I guess I'm starting to think like a die. I will tell the little woman to put an extra biscuit in my stew tonight. Edited by CoinMasters 07/15/2016 09:49 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 09:36 am It doesn't add value to the coin. It is just an event that happened to the die. But the coin is a great one to keep. (check book prices for it) Low mintage on this year/mint mark. Edited by coop 07/15/2016 09:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/15/2016 09:48 am The feeder fingers eject the coin from the chamber. (possibly inserts the coin with a different one?) But why Feeder Finger Damage? What causes an issue that wears down part of the die? (probably steel as aluminum would scratch hardened steel that the die has) A strike on the feeder fingers bend them and thus might create the damage we often see on the damaged die field. A polishing could remove that event from the die, but would remove a lot of field doing this. (this would reduce the devices size the deeper the polishing goes) Report this Post to the Staff
