    I get lots of green and yuck pink paint. also some marked with the Greek letter omega. and some with numbers, usually 300's or 400's (maybe the number of the box this guy has gone through?) and the black dot over the eye, and the single slash across the face.
    occasionally others but these 5 marks are common.
    This last box I saw something new, a black mark over the "In God we trust" but only on 1974D. saw 3 or 4 of them. I'm guessing the guy checked for doubles and marked to save himself the time the next time he sees the coin.
    oh and someone has a rubber stamp they use that says "stay calm, collect coins" starting to see these more often

    Just went through 11 Boxes, first time I've notice a lot of marking, some idiot even marked a 1968, jeez.

    Green, red, black sharpie, with numbers, Xs, and slash marks.

    I get quite a few with only the bicentennials marked with a black or red line under the building. Anyone else get those?

    I mark the roll itself, not the coins

    I have seen a few of those. I'm not sure why.

    I'm in Colorado around the Denver metro area. There must be others that do the same thing.
