Counting machine marks?

That's done when they auto-roll them in a machine. End coins sometimes get the circular "scratching"

Yeah, prolly counting machine damage... I got a roll of Michigan's from the bank, every single one was at last scuffed/"polished" from a counting machine... some were even heavilly damaged...
