<p>[QUOTE="rascal, post: 1190904, member: 29239"]I have found many state quarters from brand new rolls with these round indents in them so this may have been done at the mint by having something struck into the coin by the die. sometimes a piece of something can get stuck on a coin die and keep repeating this process until it finally wears out or falls off the die. If this is MD then there will be a small raised area on the other side of this coin directly behind this sunken in area. I had two identical state quarters and have misplaced them somewhere here in my home that I called the fireworks coins. they had these round dots in all different sizes going all the way to the top edge of the coins and it looked like a grand finale at a fireworks show. I found them from new rolls of coins while searching for the Minnesota extra tree coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
