    If they were created when the planchets were made, I can guarantee that it wouldn't show once the planchet was struck into a coin. The pressure onto the planchets are too much to leave any lines or what not. Those had to be PM marks. Storage wise comes more into play with such a pattern IMO.

    Perhaps, but the coin does have a bit of wear which may have removed the markings from the devices.

    It was in a Dansco and the owner had a lot of schmutz on the little plastic thingy. They also had OCD and had to move the plastic cover in and out exactly 5,555 times a day. Thats my answer and I'm sticking to it.

    I think most people probably miss the most important part of that quote -

    And if you go back and read that thread closely, Mike isn't saying those marks on the coin are caused by a descaling brush, he says they may be caused by a descaling brush. Bit of a difference in that.

    In those four coins there are Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mint marks and a span of 18 years...has the process been that consistent, across locations, for that long?
