Do your eyeballs see any damage on this coin ?

There are three scrapes/gouges at 10 o'clock, 10 1/2 o'clock and 11 o'clock. They happened after the coin started to tone, but the coin has toned more since they happened.
IMHO, these really are so insignificant that I would still be pretty happy to have the coin.
Thank you
When bought this coin raw i could not see that...( oy) .
Coin is graded genuine XF details ( damage )

The coin is still desirable, the scrapes are minor, light and starting to retone.
Others may well see something else, my eyes aren't what they used to be ten years ago.
Other than the 3 scratches described, there is a less pronounced one at 2 o'clock.
Bummer on the damage, otherwise nice coin. The MC assayer seems more difficult to find than the JG assayer.
