    No. Those are just die scratches. Probably from polishing.

    Die scratches from cleaning, the obverse ring is from a worn die.

    If it was die scratches --shouldnt the whole coin be scratched not certain area only?

    Nothing more than face and the educational value. This is common on copper/ zinc cents.

    The guys are right , the mint workers have tried to restore a old overused die by polishing something off it . Feeder finger damage is much more pronounced than the die scratches and mostimes only go in one direction.

    Feeder finger rubs will often wear a smooth spot on the die that will leave a shiny spot on the coin.
