Under a loupe, you won't see the original struck surface except perhaps in protected areas such as between numbers, letters, etc. There may also be a lot of hairlines (very thin scratches) all over the coin that will become obvious as you change the lighting angle (because they're often in the same direction). Even BU Morgans often show some bag marks due to long-term storage by the treasury and banks.
