southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 1:06 pm Could this be a Retained Interior Die Break next to a reverse A and E? It is raised and unlike the MD previously posted. Or just another MD? Also, I read the other posts re feeder finger marks. However, the obverse scratch like marks shown here, they are located exactly where obverse clashing occurs behind the ear and along the hair ponytail. I was considering die polishing marks. Your thoughts appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 2:24 pm looks like harsh die polishing behind the ear - or Feeder Finger Damage. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 2:28 pm I'll go with Feeder Finger Damage here. I see it in several areas: Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 2:37 pm I suspect that is a die chip to the left of the letter E and maybe a die scratch coming down off of the letter N.

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 6:44 pm Dearborn - I don't disagree with Feeder Finger Damage, it's just that the location you circled and where the anomaly damage is, is coincidentally the same spots where clashes are found on some of the Edith's. Trying to imagine that line of reasoning through, wouldn't the mint polish those areas on the die? and subsequent die use might result in what we see here, if the polishing was not smoothly done? Or should I just let this go and call it a day and feeder damage? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96112 Posts	Posted 07/30/2023 6:55 pm The only reason I'm went with FFD is because the marks are all in the same direction, at about 45 degrees from vertical, and are all perpendicular. Hand polishing would not be that 'accurate' in my opinion. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
