2018 Roosevelt Dime Error On YouTube

My apologies if this coin has already been discussed. I came across this video on YouTube. The dude is rather long-winded so I skipped through the vid. I did catch his explanation of "feeder fingers" during which he uses one of Dan Carr's Moonlight Mint feeder fingers to demonstrate what they are.

    The reverse of the dime is die damage from overextended
    Feeder Fingers.

    It's a nice example, but every coin struck from those dies
    will have those 'scrape' marks on the coin. This is also
    a fairly common effect on many State Quarters.

    Interesting, but not rare or valuable.

    yes, but will it be a variety that will get a fs-number in the future?

    No, feeder finger scrapes are not
    considered die varieties - they are
    considered die states, imo.

    Interesting... Thanks Fred, I did not realize the anomaly was a die state... thought it was just process damage. Cheers, RickO
