<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 720981, member: 15199"]I am convinced it is not skin caused damage. In the huge blowup, look at the tiny area beneath the "n" in "United", notice a spot inside that tiny angular space. No finger area or regular cloth could do that. A fiber piled surface cloth such as velvet could do it. Since the spots go over the devices, it is post striking, and since the mint doesn't process the coins after the strike, I don't know the cause, and since many banks rolled coins in that time, maybe some kind of roller, counter with a fiber surface that picked up some oil or fluid, or perhaps it was stored on a velvet covered surface.</p><p> </p><p> Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
