<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1441957, member: 66&quot;]I don&#039;t think so.&nbsp; Blow up the pictures and look at the surfaces.&nbsp; In the centers you have the flat smooth surfaces created buy the fields of the dies, then suddenly the surface texture changes.&nbsp; It is almost like an etched surface.&nbsp; And it is all the way down on the fields and right up against the lettering.&nbsp; It isn&#039;t a scraping like the fingers of a rolling machine does.&nbsp; There is no scrape damage to the lettering. And notice on the VA quarter the normal field continues out into the etched area around the JA of JAMESTOWN.&nbsp; If these were the end coins of a roll that got wet with something mildly corrosive/acidic, the rolled end would hold the corrosive against the coin around the edge and would also have held it like a reservoir allowing it a longer time to work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
