hewart Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 6:51 pm Just ran across this today checking a roll of dimes. These marks on the reverse look like polish marks but it does not appear on the raised elements. These lines extend halfway across the dime. What do you think ? Report this Post to the Staff

hewart Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 7:19 pm OK... so let me get this straight. This would have had to happen when the planchet was loaded before the die struck it. Am I correct ? I always thought that feeder fingers would be after the strike and the coin was ejected. Report this Post to the Staff
Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3179 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 7:32 pm The feeder finger scratched the die, so every coin struck thereafter will show the damage. Report this Post to the Staff
hewart Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 7:43 pm Yes... Just saw an article on that by Coop. Now it makes sense. The original damaged was to the die. I have seen other coins with scrapes that looked liked it ran under the elements. Only the die can do that. Thanks for the help. Report this Post to the Staff
