Wheelmarks don't look like wheels..(0) (0)! 1 1

Here's what a wheel mark can look like. Either from  a coin rolling machine or from a spinning or rotating device of some kind. These marks disqualify most coins for a straight grade. Coin: 1964 P Kennedy 50c Silver. Beautiful but in just the right light..boom dead soilder.

It might be road rash. Not likely from a coin wrapper machine as the wheels would bear on the edges of the coins and rotate them up against a metal tang to close the ends. The metal tang would create more of a narrow circular scrape mark near the rim.

I agree

 Not a wheel mark or wrapping machine damage. PMD

It could be a type of spinning tool mark?  This coin was taken out of a "last year"numismatic collectors clock made in the 60s. The road rash theory occured to me but the damage does not extend to the rims. Wheel marks from coin operated vending machine?

Doesn't look like a wheel mark which would be more linear
