I agree 100%.
50 years of floating around in a flimsy plastic package does not do coins,nor packaging, well! In this case the packaging is damaging the coin and removing it will not significantly alter the value. ( It's a 10$ coin in or out of the holder in my opinion. )
My suggestion is to get the coin out of the package and get it soaking in some acetone to remove the crud. If the impressions are on/in the metal of the coin they'll still be there after an acetone soak.
Examine the plastic packaging under different lightings to look for the additional impressions you are seeing.
Good luck!
