    here is a few photos of one of my die gouge coins that was caused to be this way from the feeder finger scraping across the die. these with this many gouges are hard to find where I live , I think they will be scarce about anywhere because when the mint workers sees the damaged coins they destroy the entire bin the coins are going in. I'm showing this coin so the collectors that don't know what these coins are can know when they find one.

    Those are some VERY strong feeder finger scrapes Rascal, and a very good education piece. Thank you for sharing.

    that'a what I thought when I found this one. so far I have only found four that are similar to this one. I think I may have another one from the die that struck this one but from a earlier die stage.
