CoinCents, Wish I could give a point blank model ACME-xyz answer to coin wrapping machines, but there are many different models to choose from.
Some are fully automatic, some are manual and some are half and half. The foot print they leave behind can vary greatly.
I'll try and comment on the one half and half I've seen demonstrated as the coins are sorted and counted the rolled paper is fed around the stacked coins. A person would then remove the coins with both ends still open and insert into a cylindrical slot that had (for lack of a better wording) a mechanized reamer that seals the ends one at a time.
I could see a little (manual) applied pressure would leave little to no contact marks. On the other hand a lot of (manual) pressure could do damage to the surface of the end coin.
Reminds me of making gravy, it takes time and patients to get it right. Thanks, Doug.

Let me add, the inner rim included in this reverse design on the quarter(s) seems to have been made with coin wrapper damage in mind.
If we could see the whole coin, I'll bet it shows it goes around further than just the exposed top of date and the bottom of the sword as we see pictured. Thanks, Doug.

Sorry to be a pain. But you all know a lot more than I. I guess the point being nothing in the minting process would or could cause such an anomaly so it would have to be PSD of some sort. Oldfritz would you be able to post a clearer close up image of that area. |

I had to check the bay for photos of other quarters to compare your to. Hang on to it for now,something is going on with yours. Maybe Mike will chime in. It does not look like coin wrapping damage at all. John1  Edited by John1

I agree with John, because like I said above, this is similar to some Blue Ridge Parkway quarters that JBCOINSINC mentioned, but this is a Saratoga quarter, so I can't fully say anything. You should keep it as this doesn't look like wrapper damage at all.

 In the added pics I'm not seeing anything additional to support the wrapper damage, but the pics are a little blurry. Might check the high points for marks like where the arms contact the rim. The right arm shows something, but that maybe part of the design that dips in there. Thanks, Doug. |

I know this post is a little older, but I noticed the same marking on mine, still haven't found any info.  |

I don't have access to the U.S. mint website right now. But if someone was able to check the images for that coin, it may be part of the design. The line by the date is probably damage.

That image tells me that horizontal line is part of the design. The mark on the date is PSD from a coin wrapper. Note the scratches on the coin are incuse. Note how the incuse devices are not affected. So this is damage. Edited by coop
