coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 10:53 am Grease mixed with debris like sand or grit that leaves the surface rough. But even grease can prevent a strike on the field with out the rough affect. Even inside devices this can happen. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 03/03/2016 2:57 pm Great photos coop thank you I always appreciate the extra time you take to include them. I just never noticed it until a couple of week ago on a Utah quarter (which I just set aside because it was different), then only 2nd time seeing it yesterday so I figured I would inquire on it.
