It's a little hard to tell from the angle of those pictures but they look like they could possibly be "woodies".

Yup, they're woodies. Those streaks aren't scratches.

 

Just a suggestion: Next time you photograph a Woodie select a background other than woodgrain.

 

Maybe he doesn't want us to know there is actually a coin there?
