    Was wondering if anyone knows if this type of stitch like marking is unusual? I have not been able to locate any information about this type of error? Thanks Ivona

      Look at the reeded edge of the coin, now the mark, edge, mark... ;)

      Is that unusual? Does it add value to the coin? Thank you

      It is wear-- rub/ ding from other coins.

      Wear does not add to coin values as a general rule.

      Its embedded in as if it was molded in. Its not scratched. There are 2 one on his cheek as well. I am new to this. Is that what wear marks are?

      Today's high speed presses has increased these marks (see state quarters). It happens when the coins fly into the hopper upright, striking the pile of coins.
