<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1310141, member: 29239&quot;]I think I disagree with you on this one because the feeder fingers are usually aluminum and it would be hard for aluminum to scratch tempered steel . I suppose anything is possible though. I do know that the mint workers are always grinding and polishing off the dies to remove things. I have a lot of the most major type of the detached leg bison nickels and a few of the severly clashed die bison nickels that have been positively identified as being from the same set of dies from die markers. the clashed die bison coins are quite rare and the die clash makes the bison look exactly like he is taking a leak. the clash marks were almost totally removed and this took away too much design and created the ultra detached leg coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The grind marks on this dollar coin is in the same area as the heavy clash mark that folks calls the extra spike is located on the clashed die dollars. either way we know it is from a damaged die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
