No, the US Mint does not roll coins so simply finding a damaged coin in a solid date roll does not indicate mint-made damage(which is impossible to prove anyway). Coins are shipped from the Mints in bulk to the armored carriers(Wells Fargo, Loomis, Dubar, etc) and they are the entities responsible for rolling coins and distributing them to banks. That also means that there are many opportunities for a coin to be damaged before it reaches the end user.

That kind of attitude will not earn you any friends around here, we have numerous members with DECADES of experience and we strive for accuracy in all answers given. All I can see from your photos is a damaged coin, nothing more. If you are so convinced that you have an error, post some better photos without the massive pixellation because your obverse image is definitely less than optimal.
