<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 1504350, member: 1859&quot;]A feeder finger grazing a die face will cause die scrapes (or if you prefer, parallel die gouges).&nbsp; This was established without a doubt in a series of Arkansas quarters which showed die scrapes and scrapes on the coin (post-strike) precisely aligned with each other.&nbsp; The feeder finger that damaged the die also damaged the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the die dent on the Presidential dollar, there&#039;s no reason to think that a feeder finger was responsible.&nbsp; Feeder fingers are not nearly as hard as a die, and are designed to disintegrate on impact.&nbsp; Sometimes these folks at the grading services make things up on the fly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
