stevenamills New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/11/2024 09:54 am I recently picked this up on ebay, described as a "clashed die,, which, obviously it isn't. While I have a coin struck on a feeder finger fragment, I've never really paid a lot of attention to Feeder Finger Damage. I've read through Coop's postings and they are, of course, quite good. I'm seeing this as Feeder Finger Damage to the die, but I guess there could be other possibilities. Any input is appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

stevenamills New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 09/11/2024 9:30 pm I made these "photos" on my old Epson scanner. I believe I scanned at 9600 dpi. Of course I had to reduce them to comply with the size requirements here. Report this Post to the Staff
