Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 12:16 am Hi, can someone point me to where I can see some samples of those Jailhouse effects coins as well as Feeder Finger Damage coins please? I want to see what various samples look like. Especially those with effects right around the end of LIBERTY close to Abes neck and back. Thanks!

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 12:35 am They look like one or more straight parallel lines on the coin that appears to be going behind the devices. They can be in any direction in any area. I'll see if I can find a pic or two. If not, coop and others will come through. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 12:53 am I only found a pic of one gouge, but it's a nice one. Sometimes you'll see two or more gouges across the face of the die. Sometimes they're short, sometimes not. Report this Post to the Staff

cladhunter13 Pillar of the Community Canada 1161 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 01:02 am I think this is what you meant by "jailhouse". The prison cent clash.: This is a coin that I have that was labeled Feeder Finger Damage by regulars on this awesome forum. I hope these help with what you are looking for.

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 01:15 am If you're talking about a prisoner cent, that's caused by a really nice die clash where the memorial looks to have Abe behind bars. Check out how heavily they polished the dies trying to get rid of it. Report this Post to the Staff

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 01:45 am Oh wow, this is too funny. It's the "prisoner" ones I was trying to think of. Been thinking too much of the problem neighbors who've been hauled off to jail sometimes I guess So "prisoner cents" it correct, "jailhouse" wrong. Oopsie sorry folks! Thanks a lot for posting the images Scooby and Cladhunter! Exactly the kinds of images I was hoping to find. I have a 1970 D that has quite a bit of damage on it, but also has some interesting bits to it, similar to those prisoner cents and that Feeder Finger Damage one mentioned. I'm trying to figure out what I have on this coin. Its too bad I'm not able to really catch the clashes properly to see them clearly when I scan the coin. I've played lots with many MANY scans at variations of brightness and contrast and just can't catch this stuff right, Nor the lettering/numbers as theres something up with the words and date too. Not sure if its DD, MD, damage or a combination of all three. Because of the clash marks I'm thinking theres more going on with the devices than damage, but date and almost all letters of words are mushy and weird and I think indicated MD or DD. I'll play some more because I really do want to post images. I realize damaged coins aren't collectible, but this might be a good one for discussion and learning I thought.

Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 01:49 am Thanks for the great images. My first response when I saw all the photos was "Ask and ye shall receive ... CCF style inundation" I love CCF!!! Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 01:52 am Thanks for that thread link Scooby. Very informative! Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 03:08 am Ok, here's lots of scans. m frustrated because I can't catch the clashes especially at the end of LIBERTY and the neck/back of Abe. I can see them clearly with the magnifying glass, very defined. They don't show much indication in the sca theough :( Anyways, here goes and fingers crossed. I'd love feedback on what you folks see in the different areas (I know lotsa damage and smooshing): Report this Post to the Staff
chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 06:31 am Try taking pics & angle the camera or coin under light. Scans don't really help much. JMO. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 07:08 am Here is where to look for clash affects. They will be in the fields as an out line of the opposite die outlines of the devices. deeper devices are not affected during the clashes. Just the areas of the field and the outlines of the devices. Hope this helps? Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 03/02/2011 5:51 pm Chris, thanks. I don't have anything except the scanner to work with for images and can't see that changing any time soon though so will have to make do. Meanwhile, my loupe should arrive by next week and I'm hoping to see better details to at least describe them better. Coop, thanks a lot for that overlay. Thats a nice big image for reference. As ever, love your helpful photos that you post for us! Report this Post to the Staff
