Any ideas on stain/residue on 2016 50c from mint?

Hey everyone,
So I ordered two of the 2016 special wrap 50 cent rolls and they came in today. One looks normal, but the second one seems to have some kind of black/dark blue stain on both coins on either end of the roll. I tried to wipe it away with just a lens cleaning cloth, but it didn't remove anything. Has anyone else ever seen this? Would it be from the minting or perhaps rolling process?
On the one side it is easily viewable on the bottom of the coat of arms. On the other end, you can see it on parts near the edge on the beads.
Quite tempted to crack open the roll and see what else is inside.
Thoughts?
