biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/01/2010 10:59 pm I concur with Feeder Finger Damage. It is not actually damage on the coin but the die. Feeder fingers are flat notched metal bars that supply planchets to the dies. Occasionally, one will scrape across the surface of a die and create parallel gouges such as the ones you see on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
quiquelo Valued Member Colombia 86 Posts	Posted 12/01/2010 11:49 pm Wow! Thanks Scooby and Biokemist, it's the first time I run into this error. So if the damage is on the die and not on the coin I suppose there must be lots of other coins like mine, is it then considered a variety? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/01/2010 11:54 pm Nope just a worn/damaged die. A true variety coin would be one that started making varieties from coin one. Report this Post to the Staff
quiquelo Valued Member Colombia 86 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 10:02 am Now I get it, thanks Coop. Just two more questions: is this a common error? Does it add a premium to the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 1:28 pm Yes. And no. But, they still look kinda cool. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/02/2010 2:55 pm They continue to happen as long as the operator doesn't see they are getting through. Then a polishing and they are normal again. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ike_Pope.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...rapes_01.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...utkowski.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._collage.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
