    What I say depends on how they were listed.
    Did you get then from a mail order as choice BU or from eBay as MS70s or damaged culls or what?
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Just a guess. A rather large area of impure metal in the planchet. These planchets are not made by the US Mint any more and while they keep up with the weight very closely they obviously dont keep the quality control up to speed. JMHO. image

    They came from a broker in a taped and sealed mint tube. I purchased a bulk order and this tube was the only that had this damage.

    Your're not the first one to see it, I suspect. It appears to have been wiped.

    I wiped this one with my thumb but left the others as they were 7 total out of a 20 tube.
    Weird?

    Could be a planchet flaw but since there is a finger print above DOLLAR I'd say somebody was holding it and a drop of corrosive snot dripped on it. Sealed Mint tube, huh? Hmmm........

    Well when you send it in to be graded, you don't have to worry about PCGS getting a fingerprint on it!!image
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I recieved one very similar in the monster box I has the pleasure of breaking the seal on. Not one tube was taped though btw.
    Need something designed and 3D printed?

    You said there were 7 of these do all 7 have the identical mark?? If so then it might not be a fingerprint like it appears. But the one shown does appear to be a rusted fingerprint and there has been some cleaning. Do the others show the cleaning marks

    Ooops. Darn those Mint employees having Cheetos at lunchtime.

    I wonder if it was some kind of lubricant that came off of the machine?
    It seems to have had a corrosive effect on the surface of the coin.
