silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 9:14 pm The 1967 never has a spit on this position. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/14/2022 11:09 pm The surfaces look polished and there is heavy damage to the obverse. It's showing a groove cut into the surface, most likely from the crimping jaws of a wrapping machine where this coin was on the end of the roll. This is going to kill any premium value on this clashed die strike. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 08/15/2022 09:48 am I too believe the obverse circular damage to be from a Coin Wrapping Machine. It appears to have been gouged while rotating in a circular motion. IMO. KK Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: I thought that was feeder finger scrapes Sorry, this is most likely Wrapping Machine Damage or as it's sometimes called "The Circle of Death." Feeder finger scrapes are straight lines on the dies, usually found on the fields, that look as if they are behind parts of the design. https://www.error-ref.com/feeder-ejector-scrapes/ ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95805 Posts	Posted 08/15/2022 7:34 pm Feeder Finger Damage will show as straight lines on the fields of a coin, not circular. Collecting since 1972.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 08/15/2022 7:49 pm You can post this coin on any forum you want. They are here around. You do not believe what we say, OK for me, each has theirs perceptions and imaginations. It is OK for me this. To has more explanations: your coin was re-polish, well circulate and the "spit" how you say is just a scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
