Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 02/21/2018 10:36 am I went to a new branch of my credit union to cash in my coins and I seen this coin as well as a 1/2 franc 1976, dime from Bermuda 1980,and another Canadian quarter sitting in the trash can next to the coin machine. They all were on top of the only piece of paper in the can. On the reverse these anomalies look like gouges or scrapes to me. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 823 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 6:51 pm I think those would be referred to as "tool marks". from the CCF glossary: TOOL MARKS - A line, usually small and fine, found on both genuine and counterfeit coins. On genuine coins, such lines result when Mint workmen touch up dies to remove remnants of an overdate or other unwanted area. On counterfeits, they often appear in areas where the die was flawed and the counterfeiter has attempted to "fix" the problem. Edited by TerryT 02/26/2018 6:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
