[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3547081, member: 77814"]contact marks from being bagged. directly after the minting stage coins, including quarters, fall into a "ballistic bag" the coins hit each other. they are not individually cushioned in separate flips or anything. So they hit each other, stack up like crazy. The edge of the quarters can hit the other one. This excludes future process bagging into (rolls) or small bags (and going through processing equipment), future cycling from Loomis/Brinks to further baggings, etc. A Quarter ballistic bag contains $80,000 of quarters [ATTACH=full]942745[/ATTACH] and many of them have identical contact marks. take a quarter and see how it kinda fits in the contact mark as an example. btw, I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure the US MINT does not create the individual rolls. They are processed offsite by a vendor into rolls. The US MINT went to bags only years ago for distribution from the Mint facilities, per their documentation. So there's another processing step for the coins to get damaged.[/QUOTE]
