Washington Contact Marks?

A couple of sellers are listing the Washington Dollar with contact marks on ebay for sale. About a month ago I recieved two US Mint bags of Washington Dollars. Each of these bags contained one of these coins, image attached. It looks as though the coin was caught up and gouged by the letter inscription machine. What do you think?

Also, I pulled about 20 coins from the two bags that have what appears to be a series of scratches between Liberty's face that extend under the raised relief and pop out on the other side in line with each other. Is this from improper polishing of the die (scratched die)? Sorry no photo of this one.
