<< <i>Those aren't scratches. They are cuts. In the old days, some cigar smokers would carry a large coin. They would lay the coin on a hard surface and place the end of the cigar on the coin. They could then take a knife and trim the end of their cigar. The coin would act as a cutting block and protect the table or other surface that they were working on. >>
While I agree with you that it's potentially the case here I believe the uniform spacing of these cuts/scratches would rule that out. If you were cutting the end of your cigar I tdon't think you would necessarily take the time to properly align the coin each time to get the even spacing. I think it's simple grafetti and it's a real shame as the coin looks to have minimal wear and nice original surfaes.
Oh and he said it was "HARLY NOTICEABLE " Since Harly isnt a word you remove it from the sentence. and you come up with NOTICEABLE.

<< <i>Would this coin be worth repairing? It doesn't look like it would be too difficult to repair and its not worth too much in its current state. >>
I have heard of plugging coins with holes but do they repair scratches on coins? The detail is nice outside of the scratches but I think it is what it is and can't imagine that the cost of repair would be worth it.....?

Not at ANACS (net grade)..................everyone else would BB it before they even got it out of the plastic flip

Yes, they can smooth over scratches so you would never know that they were there.

Perry,
Would you know what something like that would cost?.....very interesting what they can do these days but if I win the coin I am not going to have it repaired.

Contact Coin Restoration Services (crs-stockton.com) and Mr. Stockton can quote you a price. He may need to see the coin in hand.
