coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 12:18 am Tooling marks on the die? Looks almost like some odd form of delamination, but is raised. I know, the coin is reprocessed, but does this have anything to do with these odd marks? Edited by coppercoins 09/06/2008 12:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 08:30 am What design elements do you see in the odd details that come from the obverse of the coin? I sure don't see anything, just a bunch of odd lines. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 5:18 pm Ok,Chuck, The pictures are great but as I sometimes ask for , howsabout a picture of the entire reverse so I can put the marks in context with the other reverse details. When what appears to be die gouges are all in the same direction, we sometimes attribute that to damage to the die caused by the feeder finger mechanism. I have to do a little more digging to see if that would have been a possibility back in 1943. Although the feeder fingers tips are made of aluminum today, they still cause damage to dies that results in marks on a struck coin that look like these. It could also be something that occured as part of the replating process since you say that it is a re-processed cent. I don't think so though. I'll let you know what I find out.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 5:25 pm I think it is what Bill was referring to. It looks like the scrapes even touched the devices on the Right wheat and the last A. Report this Post to the Staff
livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 09/06/2008 8:31 pm my impression was feeder marks. I have no idea when they might have changed the type, or composition of the "arm", so dating would be out. The core being steel, and the zinc clad layer , are part og the year, but the marks don't look, (to me), like lamination. I have to go witjh feeder damage. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
