I work with raw materials shipped in these types of bags and you would be amazed what can happen to them. The coins are rolled by an outside company. I'm guessing the bags are dumped in a hopper and then rolled. Small quantities of damaged coins can easily get mixed in and rolled. I'm not saying with certainty that's what happened to your coin, but I believe it's a plausible explanation for finding a PMD in a roll of new coins.[/QUOTE]
