Dearborn Moderator United States 95204 Posts	Posted 01/17/2022 3:14 pm I don't think that the mechanism in a vending machine could make marks like that, (of all the machines I own and operate, I have never seen such a drastic mark on any of the coins). However, I agree that a gumball or a coin roller machine could possibly have done this. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Whatever the cause, it is 100% damage.
