I agree with CoinHI. It could have been scratched 50 or 60 years ago and then returned to circulation. The high areas that are smooth now could have had the same marks, they've just worn down. The deepest scratches run through the lettering as well as the fields. Nothing in the minting process could have caused this type of damage.
