coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/02/2019 11:03 pm I spent the day looking for examples of Quarters with the Feeder Finger Damage, but didn't come up with any great examples, yet. But I did discover a one year event on the Proof quarters. It had a Type 'A' proof for just one year. But checked other sources, and they had already figured that out already.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 01:55 am Thanks for the clarification, coop! I knew it was created at the Mint, but I completely forgot about feeder finger gouges and this definitely resembles that more than abrasion/polishing.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 01/04/2019 06:42 am Not trying to beat a dead horse here but I have a followup question regarding the feeder finger die damage. Can anyone provide information on the mechanics and operation of the feeder fingers? I'm just trying to understand how a flat piece of metal (feeder finger) traveling in a straight line would create a gouge that is deeper in the middle of the die face than towards the perimeter since the die face is flat? Thanks again in advance for any and all help and info. Cliff Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

jay4202472000 Pillar of the Community United States 853 Posts	Posted 01/04/2019 09:39 am @coop Do you mind elaborating on the one year, type A proof reverse. I have never seen any info on this and would love to search for one of these. I am familiar with the 1952 proofs with Class 3 DDR (Type B/Type A or RDV-002/RDV-001 whichever you prefer), but not any with just a Type A yet. Thanks in advance! Link to the examples I am talking about: http://varietyvista.com/09b%20WQ%20...s%201952.htm Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 10:02 am Quote: So does that mean the feeder finger is moving in a slight arc as it swings past the coining chamber since the abrasion is deeper in the middle and tapers off as it passes the East and West areas of the gouge? No, the die face is not completely flat, The die faces are very slightly convex. So the feed fingers as they move back and forth are making contact with the die toward the center but do not touch it out by the edges. The slight convexity of the dies means they contact the planchet first near the center this helps to force the metal outward to help fill the lettering around the edges. It is also one of the reasons the planchets are upset, because the edges of the dies are further apart than in the centers. Report this Post to the Staff
