As for how those marks are made I tend to think they are marks made by other coins, It is counterintuitive to realize how fragile and soft metal actually is, it is only when we compare it to ourselves that it seems hard. you can polish coins with a plastic bag, which seems soft to us.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it is hard to guess the grade a tpg gave a coin, sometimes I think that big valued customers submissions get a bump that other coins do not get, the lowest number given on the poll was a 62, I might have said ms-60 if it was available as part of the poll, it does not look like it was circulated and damage to me means more than contact marks. </p><p><br /></p><p>I admit I do not have the skinny on how hard the coins are ejected from the machine, if a coin can get stuck in a place and have other coins strike it as they are ejected, I am relying more on other industrial methods I have seen that may be totally different than how the mint handled coins back in the 70s, tho I have heard many collector complaints about modern handling and also how modern coinage is handled so much better than used to be the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
