[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 820181, member: 4350"]I would be interested in Mike D's take on this but I lean toward a die that was damaged by a feeder finger or a broken part of one. This could also happen if a die was damaged by some other rectangular piece of metal getting between a planchet and the reverse die as the coin was being struck. It is not an issue with planchets themselves as the two coins are virtually identical and the marks, if they were a part of the planchets would have been obliterated by the striking of the coin. Since the marks do not resemble Lincoln, it tends to rule out a clashed die scenario. Some form of damage to the die would be the culprit. There are more of these out there somewhere. Although, I've not seen one, There has to be. Thanks, Bill[/QUOTE]
