They look like protrusions coming out of some of the devices. My questions are, what are these/what causes it, and is it a common thing on 1961/1961-D quarters. I of liberty The U of trust has noticeable ones but I included the rest of the nearby devices just in case. Thanks everyone for taking a look. Report this Post to the Staff
