    Welcome to the forum! :)

    Photos are needed for the best responses.

    Cents prior to 1982 were not plated so you don't have a plating problem.

    Could be damage, could be a lamination. We'll need photos.

    What are "linear plating scratches"? Never heard that term before.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    @Rockcoin..... Welcome aboard.... In a couple of days, you will be able to post pictures. This will be necessary in order to define the anomaly you are observing. Cheers, RickO

    It is probably damage of some sort. Photos are needed.

    All glory is fleeting.
