I just opened the mint envelope of this 1963 proof set.
Can anyone tell me what these marks are on this coin?

Thanks

    If the coin was still in the plastic when you took this photo – it’s just the plastic

    If you are going to scrutinize your coins ( which is generally a good thing) you need to learn to recognize scratches on the holders.

    If you are referring to what I am seeing, this are just scuffs/scratches on the mylar from the coin. If you gently slide the coin inside the space the scratches will not move with the coin.
