<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lon Chaney, post: 1556810, member: 29844&quot;]To elaborate on a previous post, this was damaged by the machines that wrap coins in rolls.&nbsp; When they crimp the ends, it often puts a ring around the inside of the crimp.&nbsp; Keep an eye out, or look at new bank-wrapped rolls, and you&#039;ll see these marks are fairly common.</p><p><br /></p><p>EDIT: And with your mintmarks, you&#039;ll see different styles depending on the year, and occasionally multiple styles within a year.&nbsp; These are called varieties, and are caused by grabbing different dies, or die deterioration, or punching the mintmark into the die goofy, whatever.&nbsp; You can look the biggest ones up in the red book, and they&#039;re often called Type 1/Type 2, or clear S/Filled S, or stuff like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
