Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10472 Posts	Posted 04/23/2026 03:04 am That's definitley "grooves" into the die face - from metal flow deterioration or possibly Feeder Finger Damage that a mint worker tried to polish out. I'm thinking maybe FFD - as they all go one direction (red lines) while the metal flow lines move from the center outwards in a radial pattern (green lines) Report this Post to the Staff
snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1235 Posts	Posted 04/23/2026 07:39 am Thank You. The differences between FFD, die scrapes, die abrasion, die dents, etc, seem so minor, and even overlapping, that I can't figure them out. Report this Post to the Staff
