On a coin that has a deep scratch but no wear after the time of the scratch, the scratch shows up much like a furrow in a ploughed field, where the edges of the furrow are small ridges, higher than the surrounding field.
This feature much harder to detect on a coin that has sustained circulation wear after the time of the scratch.

The small pic suggests to me that the line in the field is a scratch
