I knew about die collectors but can't honestly say I'm familiar with Feeder Finger collectors

Finger Feeder anyone?
It's interesting...and is $7,500 about right?!

Admittedly I may have missed an original post a year or two ago when that other grading company certified this...I was certainly confused for a moment when it popped up in my error coins search lol.

    Really?? I did not know people collected feeder fingers. Where would one look for them?? Is there really a market for these? Worth the expense of slabbing?? I have so many questions..... :# Cheers, RickO

    Yes, there are those of us that collect this type of thing, or at least I do.

    Expect Chinese counterfeits soon if there actually is a market for these

    Seems that $15,000 of feeder fingers would be worth grading?! ...$25,000 in PCGS holders? :wink:

    Sure, they’re mildly interesting as part of the process but I wouldn’t pay more than a couple of bucks for one. You could get a machine shop to fabricate one easily enough.

    That was my immediate thought, how could these be authenticated?

    I would think only if someone was there to certify where the machinery came from. Otherwise it would be questionable, even if everyone was above board and did everything well.
