[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 345567, member: 11521"]If the marks are raised that would indicate scratches in the die. If the marks are below the surface of the coin that would indicate post-Mint damage (e.g., scratches). I cannot tell from you photos whether the scratches are raised or not. Look at the scratches under magnification and rotate the coin so either the scratch casts a shadow (indicating a raised scratch) or a shadow is cast into the scratch (indicating a scratch in the coin).[/QUOTE]
