Coop - thanks! That is most interesting! Here is another 60-D SD. Makes me wonder if this is somehow a die clash? It would have to be off center and rotated, of course...thoughts?  |

It doesn't look like any part of the design and nothing else is happening in that area. So I always view these as die gouges. The area is the outside part of the die. The rim is formed lower that that, It appears as deeper, but it is just on the fields.

Coop -- any further thoughts on what might be responsible for this nice uniform die gouge or whatever..? I know I'm stumped -- and I'm not one to let go of unresolved mysteries when it comes to minting-side coin blurfs.. Swamp |

Pete.
I recently bought the plug able microscope. How do you get such nice pics. I have a good computer and monitor to review the coins but they are not like yours. I've also tried all the internal settings on the microscope to help.

I am please to be reminded of this thread. Since posting, I have found this possible explanation: Quote: "This is a form of pre-strike damage to the rim caused by the feeder finger, whereby a portion of the proto-rim is "sliced" or "gouged" up and subsequently struck into the coin face. The burr can be still partially attached to the rim, or can be completely detached and struck into the coin face in any location and orientation. Many of these are being found recently on shield cents." On the following link, scroll down to "Rim Burr" and look at the third photo. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/ter...gy-list-q-r/ |

...Since posting, I have found this possible explanation... You know, I should have thought of that, right or wrong.. I think the reason I didn't is because in my mind's eye it looks quite a bit different than the way I envision feeder finger markings on wheats.. Thanks for pointing this out, Pete.. Swamp |

Thanks for pointing this out Same with me - I am accustomed to how Feeder Finger Damage appears when it is in the fields. The claim is that this is Feeder Finger Damage to the rim - hence a different looking manifestation. It makes sense intuitively and I have not found a better explanation. |
