Beautiful coin... Does that mean you could use it as an un-scratchable pocket piece?... JK, that's one expensive maama-jamma...

Titanium scratches easily- not deep, but cosmetic scratches happens.

Now if it were a tungsten coin, that's one unscratchable coin!

Nice looking coin, but the Queen looks a bit grumpy?
