Was this caused by a finger?

It was part of a clash on the obverse die from the reverse die from the bottom of the bays.

Coop, it looks like there is something else there, beside the clash remnant. Look in the same area, at the slanted mark running thru the 'high-lighted area. It looks like a"wobble of some sort that caused those long , nearly parallel lines. Comments?
Mike, that is a clash, that you have outlined, and it is normal. The two lines that pass thru the same area are not feeder arm damage. The feeder arm is on the 'hammer", or reverse side of the planchet. It pushes the coin out, and feeds in the planchet into the chamber. The profile is the anvil die, which is facing upward. Hope this helps.
Dick

Feeder fingers at most would cause large scrapes on the coin - damage, basically. Any subtle changes in the design would be caused by something on the die, not on a feeder finger.

Mike, you might try this, as an alternate: On the overlay picture Coop posted, rhght click the picture, and then click on , "save picture as". You eill have it on your computer, for future reference. Hope this helps!

The strongest ones are worth hanging onto. Most of the minor ones are common as they happen now and then. I still save them for educational purposes. I have a few from a BU roll of 1959-D Cents that several clashes of the head was seen in that roll. I guess it happened during that run.
