So I'm leaving it to the experts! As the title states these lines run across the field but do not run across any device. Thanks for looking and any advice is appreciated!

Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 12/21/2016 7:03 pm Well the devices are incuse on the die, so If you were polishing the fields, youd have to dig a bit to hit the devices. I think coop has a file Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/22/2016 3:36 pm Here is an example what could cause feeder finger die scrapes: This is a simulation, but as you can see on the image of the die, the fields are the outside part of the die. The devices are deeper into the die. Thus when something is disturbed on the fields, (the outside face of the die, you will see them flow and disappear behind devices and sometimes re-appear again. + ~~On your coin the lines don't re-appear because they were shorter. Hope this helps.~~ I found one image that does shot it on your images: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...34_59784.jpg Edited by coop 12/22/2016 3:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
