I am new to the hobby. I now have a passion for the hobby. Something I can do when I get home from work. So I can unwind for an hour or so. So I came across these 2 quarters. 1 bicentennial and the other is a Tennessee quarter. On the Obverse and Reverse of both coins. There are scratches on them. Different rolls, I'm just wondering if these were man made. Or what could have made these coins look like this?. Again, I'm new to the hobby. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have attached the pictures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 04/25/2026 4:52 pm to CCF Yes the scratches are man made (not done at the mint) these would be considered damage. ( PMD) Collecting since 1972.

J-Tal Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 04/25/2026 7:26 pm I'm going to disagree with those saying man made. Clearly done by a child, thus this should be classified as child made damage Report this Post to the Staff
