<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 5463670, member: 66&quot;]Feed finger scrapes are from the feed fingers scraping across the face of the die not the planchets.&nbsp; When you find a coin that shows feed finger scrapes you will see that the scrapes are in the fields only.&nbsp; The fields are the highest part of the dies and if the scrapes had been on the planchets the fields of the die would have smashed them flat but left traces of them in the devices.&nbsp; Since the fingers scrape on the die instead, the marks are only on the fields, the highest part of the die.&nbsp; And since the scrapes cut into the fields of the die, the marks are raised on the fields on the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m not sure of is whether the fingers scrape the hammer or the anvil dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
