Gouges, marks, scrapes, and nicks are not evidence of circulation. The only thing that makes a coin go from uncirculated to circulated is wear....
I stated earlier that I was looking for a particular members opinion on this coin, here it is.

I'm holding steady at 3.2 on this one as well for the same reasons as the last one.
Please read the my post in the thread linked below. It is 10 years old, but I haven't changed my methods in all that time so it should do the...
