Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/07/2018 09:18 am The video seems to confirm that there are no feed fingers. The planchet feed IS offset for the dies and it appears the planchet comes down and is then placed into an opening in a vertically oriented collar which rotates to place the planchet between the dies. The coin is struck and the collar rotates again to take the coin away and move another planchet into position. So the collar itself has become the "feed fingers". Report this Post to the Staff

The collar cannot be the feeder because the collar surrounds the neck of the anvil die. Furthermore, there are plenty of struck feeders from the era of the Schuler press (i.e., coins struck with inverted dies), and even more coins struck through feeders, chain-struck against feeders, and indented on the edge by a feeder. There are even mated pairs consisting of a double- or multi-struck coin and a feeder. Gravity is too slow to feed coins into the striking chamber at a rate of 750 coins per minute.

They're more common on the face struck by the anvil die. Cents struck after 2001 are almost all struck with the obverse die functioning as the anvil die. So the appearance of feeder scrapes on the obverse face of this cent is not surprising. It probably depends on how bad the feeder finger go damaged from possibly been struck on: Report this Post to the Staff
