just some questions about this coin. it is a 1988P
LMC. the coin seem to be a fairly high grade, with lost of mint luster. however there are heavy die scratches around most of the silhouette. the middle picture is around the eye and forehead area. the scratches are even in the lower parts of the eye area. the bottom picture is around the forehead just below the hairline, and the top is above the head below the word GOD. the heavy scratches are behind the neck and shoulder area also. are these all due to the dies being heavily polished or is there some other explanation for them? opinions and comments are appreciated. thanks.
