Smooth Half Edges?

[ac385]

I picked up two rolls of halves and a good number of them had the edges smoothed down to what looked like copper underneath. Anyone know a possible cause for this? Oh and out of my $20.00 spent I pulled out $1.50 in 40%.

do they look mashed....i believe this happens when coins go through the slot machines and or the counting machines

Yeah, I would say slot machines!

will 65-70 halves in this condition show copper just like a regular clad coin ?

 

[treasurefiend]

No they are not clad (silver sandwich).

Slot machines, we do have a large casino near by so that could be it. If they have half dollar slots that may be a good place to hunt. Anyone have any good techniques for slot hunting?
