Circular scratch on 1971 Ike?

Was this circular scratch from the mint process or from circulation?

I believe this coin has been in a box for over 20 years.

I get that sometimes when searching halves. I think it might be from the rolling process.

 

Sometimes things like this happen when coins are rolled.

yeah its from the rolling machine, i held onto a delaware quarter for 2 yrs before i collected coins thinking something was special about it, but when i started roll searching, i noticed that almost all of the ends on the dimes i was getting had the same exact mark on them. Needless to say that deleware quarter bought me a soda at work!

 

Hah okay, thank you all for the information!

 

Counting machine would be my guess.

Said a bit differently, I've never seen a rolling machine mark on an Ike or an Ike roll.

Has anyone else?

 

Yes.

 

What do you think it is, Lloyd?

 

slot machines maybe?? Got about 25 gambling in Lake Tahoe in the late 70's.
