Pretty cool regardless! http://cgi.ebay.com/Amazing-ERROR-5..._1978wt_1140 Report this Post to the Staff

JMerrick Valued Member Guatemala 357 Posts	Posted 01/28/2011 4:29 pm Daniel Carr got some 'pressed' feeder fingers when he restored the coin press he got from the Denver mint. Here's the link: http://www.moonlightmint.com/artifacts.htm The feeder fingers are about a third of the way down. Nothing quite as impressive as that 5 peso, but I'd guess it's not super rare... They just don't usually make it out of the building... Report this Post to the Staff
