warsumm Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:11 pm Again, thanks for any and all info. the streaks appear to be raised and do not appear to be PMD as the letters and Memorial are basically unaffected(a little bit near the bottom of the Memorial). haven't seen this before and looking for input. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:33 pm Those are die gouges. They are caused by the feeder fingers that supplies the planchets to the die presses. Sometimes, the feeder fingers scrape the die and leave these gouges. But, that is one of the worst I've seen so far. Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:43 pm Just the cool factor to you. It's better served in a 2x2 and labeled as an educational piece so you have something to compare to in the future. The majority of the time, you'll only see a few marks, that has a lot. But they will always appear to flow "behind" the devices because those are the raised portion of the die that gets affected. Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:46 pm You could probably throw it on ebay and get 5 bucks for it. Report this Post to the Staff
warsumm Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/27/2011 11:56 pm Lol. Awesome! thanks for all the help. Nah, I'm gonna keep it. I already got it in a 2 x 2. it's all MINE! Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 12:01 am It was a joke. Its not worth 5 dollars just alot of people buy coins on ebay that know nothing of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 12:10 am Sorry guys, but I have to disagree. For Feeder Finger Damage, this coin is an extremely dramatic example, strongest I've ever seen. If a customer offered me this coin, even in the circulated grade it is, I'd pay more than $5 and be happy to. The stuff that's dramatic and visible to the naked eye, sells. Warsumm- you may not do well selling it on ebay, it has become a tough market. But I know I could sell this coin to a customer without any problem, it's very cool. Thanks for showing.

warsumm Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 12:21 am Thanks for all the info. I actually make my money in sales, but not anything relevant to coins, So I will be keeping all of these for my collection. It takes too much time and is too much fun when finding something to turn it around for a small profit. Now, If I found a 1955 DDO, well...that would be a different story.

liveandievarieties Pillar of the Community United States 601 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 12:32 am I agree with you, but it's not hard to save up rolls worth of coins worth $5-10 with enough searching, it'll pay off occasionally. But no money equals the thrill of the hunt and find! Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/28/2011 09:53 am Whoa, that is extreme. Very nice. I'm with Scooby Due. Good educational piece. Staple it into a 2x2 and properly classify it. Report this Post to the Staff
