Come to think of it, the plastic scratch remover I used in a different thread on polishing scratches out of slabs would work. The key is to remove the obvious scratches, but not so much activity to "polish" the coin. Thin line.
Theoretical solution, your mileage may vary.

When you say paste, is it water based or is it just "dust"? I'm not so found of putting paste in my pocket, if the bag bursts it will look like I front sharted, or something
I think I remember the other thread, I think it is this
one.
