For purposes of better photos, and assuming you photograph your slabbed coins with them laying flat, you can put a dollop of compass oil or mineral oil over the coin. Make sure it is free of bubbles, and that it spreads out further than the edges of the coin in the exposure you make. This is a way to temporarily hide those scratches, allowing you to better see the surfaces of the coin.

As others have said, that's a lovely 3cs (3 cent silver, as opposed to 3cn which is the 3 cent nickel coin).
