Cluster of gouges

[lineop3]

I've seen single gouges before but never lined up like these are.
Where do they come from anyway?

Could be a mint worker with time on his/her hands?

They are probably die dents from an unknown source - they are somewhat regular, aren't they, which is unusual. Nice and interesting fond Aisha!

I have several with those little dings but not with that many... I would say this is unusual to say the least... Looks almost like alignment marks of some sort... Nice find Aisha!!!
