[clayg66]

Looks to be a linear plating blister. I've seen all shapes and sizes. Sometimes they go over the devices and sometime stopat them and start on the other side. Nice closeup pic!!

To me those look to be Feeder Finger Damage (FFD)... From our Glossary -

Feeder Finger Damage: Damage in the form of scrapes to the anvil die which occur when the feeder finger inadvertently rubs across it. On memorial cents, these die scrapes always show on the coin in a NW to SE direction and until the mid 90s, only on the reverse of coins, as the reverse die had always been the anvil die up until that point. Inverse die installation began in the mid 90s, but thus far there are no known examples of obverse feeder finger damage on Lincoln cents. On older cents, such as this 1944S wheat pictured below, these feeder finger scrapes exhibit in a N-S direction. I am currently unaware of when the angle of the feeder finger to the die was altered. That coin and photo are courtesy of forum member Roller.

Hope that helps a bit!!!

I was thinking the same (feeder finger die scrapes) since it appears "flattish" instead of "balloony".

That's a lot better than what I had!! I did think about that but thought it was odd there were not more but I see one southeast of "ONE". I got you going around cleaning up for me everywhere right now! Thanks Jim!!

Jon, I was just going to mention the one and O of ONE, you beat me toit! That's what Jim does... he's like the LCF Dyson, cleans up our messes!

However, I must say in your defense... it's not real common to see FF scrapes above the Memorial.

I agree with the feeder scenario.
