Second set of photos are from heritage. They show few hairlines and dull surface. The first set are from a recent seller and may be more recent, showing more hairlines and a brighter surface. The pictures are of the same coin.

Do you think the 2014 photos were shot in a way that hid the hairlines and they were always there, or do you think the first, more recent set of shots show new hairlines acquired from a cleaning attempt after 2014?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

I wondered that and it has probably not acquired new hairlines. Images hide/reveal a lot and the bright light in the newer images likely reveals more hairlines. The Heritage photos are darker and perhaps angled to better diminish their appearance.
