presumbably: 'feeder fingers' are leaving these gouges.

The feeder fingers gouged out the area in question on the die, making it raised. Still a gouge, it happens to some dies.

I must say, that is one very interesting "gouge"!Rather odd.

Neat! (Does someone want to explain "Feeder Fingers" to those who are in the dark?)

Im with Chuck on this. It IS a gouge. What it mean is there was a gouge on the die itself so YES,the gouge, when struck, will be raised like it is. Gouge

Moe145, Feeder fingers are part of the machinery that feeds the blank planchets into the die press and sometimes the fingers get pressed between the dies. John1
