  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.
