<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 865400, member: 24633&quot;]Not exactly. You can easily find many examples from, say, 1920 that have the same patina or coloration as ones from 1950. As a matter of fact, you can even find examples from the 80&#039;s &amp; 90&#039;s with similar patina, so you can&#039;t conclude that because the coins are dated 1941 that the damage was caused in 1941. Of course, you can&#039;t rule out the possibility that one of the rolling machines, circa 1941, caused the damage, but in all likelihood, there were probably hundreds of these machines being used across the country, and if they were properly maintained, they could have a useful life of 50 or more years.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s merely conjecture to assume that the same machine caused the damage. If the manufacturing specifications were followed, it is more likely that every machine produced by the same company caused the same kind of damage.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
