FEEDER MECHANISM DIE DAMAGE PATTERNS: 2018 TO PRESENT
I have been studying Feeder Mechanism Die Damage Patterns and the types of Feeder Mechanisms in use at the US Mint in different time periods. Many folks have contributed to my efforts by providing photos of Die Damage for me to include in my Census. I make educational use of some of these photos with credit. I thank everyone for this support and for your insight, advice, and encouragement!

I have prepared a series of articles in which I have attempted to organize and summarize my findings into an easy-to-use reference so that the most likely Feeder Mechanism causing a certain die damage pattern may be identified. The information is divided by time periods: {This is a highly condensed summary of a small section of the research I have been pursuing, periodically, for the last 2+ years.}

I know the side effects must be wearing and disorienting. Wishing you strength and courage....
