Is this the result of being struck through a feeder finger?

    Posted this before, but not for this question. Looks like a long, flat object obstructed the second obverse strike.

    Is it from a feeder finger? I think so. Appreciate all comments. ~Joe Cronin

  3. It looks like a multiple strike, meaning a coin that has been struck an additional time off centered. My guess!!

    ...well....yeah....

    But did a feeder finger get in the way
     
  5. I will have to leave that one to the experts to answer. I am new and still learning. I will take my 2 cents back.

    Hi:)
    Imho,
    Dbl 84 d Roosevelt very cool !

    Here’s the definition from (error reference)
    Definition: A coin struck through a feeder finger will feature a very deep impression, often with vertical walls. The margins of the impression will be concave, straight, or angular. A sharp angle will often mark the corner of a feeder finger.

    Imho, it’s difficult to tell if it’s concave and vertical in that spot.
    It does look like a bit of depression.
    Perhaps a more clear photo of the area in question. I’m leaving this one for the experts! It’s still a new error for me and I have yet to study in hand. Nice find Joe!

    The obverse second strike does look as though something intervened...

    It doesn't have the sharp edges you would expect if struck through feeder fingers. Definitely is struck over something, like maybe a piece of sissel.

    I don't think I have ever seen sharp edges on a feeder strike through

    Maybe not "sharp", but they do have straight edges. I worked with a Columbia press from the Denver Mint, and am familiar with what something looks like if the die hits feed fingers.
