(Also) I have never seen polishing lines that were done by a mint worker that had such perfect perpendicular scratches on the die. Take a good close look at the very first image.

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 12:20 pm @Dearborn, that's true, there seems no evidence of a clash elsewhere on the coin. It is just that the location lined up so well with this picture of the nickel on maddieclashes.com. If you've seen feeder finger die scrapes/abrasions with vertical lines like the ones on my nickel, then I am thinking that is it. Here's a snippet of the maddieclashes nickel and of the Mercury dime with a similar spot with vertical lines within it. Report this Post to the Staff

I found an old topic from Coop (back in 2019) that shows FFD from many different angles (including from straight down too. http://goccf.com/t/336856 Collecting since 1972.
