When I examine the coin with my lens, I'm not seeing those "scratches" on the face. I'm wondering if it is because of the phone's camera. I tried turning the phone, but I still see some. I don't know why it's doing that. As to the edge, I'm not sure. The coin wasn't mine until today.
Thanks to everyone who replied with comments. I didn't know what was on the back. When I used my lope, I wondered about it. Wiping does reduce its value. I'll still cherish the coin and add it to my son's heritage collection.
