Hey Everyone! I found this quarter and wanted to share it with the community. I originally thought it was a single die gouge but then I noticed a second parallel gouge through the N of Mankiller and it made me lean toward Feeder Finger Damage (which I guess is technically still a classification of die gouge?)
Either way, I know the Philly Mankiller errors have been getting a ton of love recently and I hadn't seen many Denver anomalies. I know it's only a minor error, but at least it's another thing that can be found on the Denver quarters.
Oh and before anyone says it's just a scratch. it's definitely a raised element and I have also found a second quarter with the exact same die gouge on it. It only looks questionable because of my rushed and sub-par image lighting (sorry about that.)
that looks incuse on the coin - is it? If it is then It won't be a gouge or Feeder Finger Damage - those events will be raised on your coin. But if raised it is possible to be feeder finger - I do see a hint of the mark on the upper right leg of the A, which is suspect.
Exclude feeder fingers in 2022 because they are inexistent on the production line.
You say about tild versus North. Yes could be a small MD. Happened. They strike 750 coins a minute by press, so the die at one point could start to move.
