Short of mechanical manipulation of the surfaces, scratches cannot just "disappear".


I am thinking that the scratches on the coin before, only scratched the toning, and never hit the coin itself.

Go to a bullion seller and buy a bag of 50cent pieces.Pull out all the VF coins,wash your hands.Look them over for nice toning,and wash your hands again.Now do you think VF vickies were any different,Thet've all been cleaned to some degree.

To say that these coins have PVC contamination, would be an understatement!

Try using an eraser if you have to. A soft one.
