Quarter US

There are depressions on the sides.

 Caused by a coin rolling machine badly adjusted. 

The coin at each end of the roll gets gouges when closing the paper roll. 

How rare is this? 

 One example: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic140969.html#p1139356 

 Rarity is for Mint error coins - not machine damage after the Mint. 

Would like to see what other members reply too. :) 

I agree fully with ZacUK

A rather severe example of coin roller damage in my recent change:

Is that what this is? I have thought it  is an error for such a long time 😆.

If there is a new roll then it is not every coin in it like that - 

just the first and last. Even then only in faulty adjustment - 

most rolling machines do no damage. 

 So it a low possibility 

1 - to be at the end of a roll 

2 - the machine to be faulty also

Yes, that is exactly what it is and not a mint error.

Mystery solved! Thanks for the info. I actually think I'll keep it and label that in case I can help others.

Can't imagine the pressure needed to cause the mark …
