At first I thought this was wheel marks from coin machine but then noticed the date and liberty is stamped over the mark, what would this be?
It is actually from a coin rolling machine. It may like like the scratch goes under parts, but if you look at the eight in the date you will see how the metal got moved. Definitely from a coin rolling machine.
Ever watch an NHRA drag race? THOSE are some wheel marks! Yes, they sometimes blow apart in horrendous fireballs, too, but that requires serious chemistry for coins to do that.
