silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 07/04/2023 11:30 pm How come FF in 2001 and to cover 3/4 of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 09:50 am I was thinking it had to be feeder finger die damage as well. Ok Silviosi, fill us in on why Feeder Finger Damage wouldn't be on Lincoln cents in 2001? The type of presses used? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Edited by Petespockets55 07/05/2023 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 1:25 pm Interesting. However, if it were finger feeder damage, wouldn't the damage affect the Memorial roof, columns and steps also? Those areas do not appear to have been damaged... Report this Post to the Staff
mb560600 Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 1:27 pm Duh.....just realized the Feeder Finger Damage would appear on the coin before it is struck---Correct? Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 2:04 pm Quote: Duh.....just realized the Feeder Finger Damage would appear on the coin before it is struck---Correct? No, the feeder fingers actually scrape against and damage the die and that damage is transferred to the coin when it's struck. Since the die is really like a negative image of a coin, anything lower on the coin, like the fields (flat areas surrounding the devices) is actually higher on the die and the higher areas on the coin (the devices) are lower, or recessed, on the die. The higher areas on the die are scraped by the feeder fingers but the damage doesn't extend into the lower parts of the die, which is why you get the appearance of damage/lines/markings to the lower area of the coin that doesn't extend into the higher areas of the coin.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96674 Posts	Posted 07/05/2023 2:29 pm yep, HGK, explained this quite well. Only the fields are affected on a die - which gives the appearance that the lines are behind the memorial. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
