It seems obviously damaged/graffiti to me.

Looks pretty nice to me. Can we see the reverse?
The spots are mildly distracting, but not horrible. The adjustment marks are also slightly distracting, but common for the issue. Even high grade MS coins often have these. They were mint-made on the planchet to correct weight and not fully effaced by striking.
Oh, interesting! I was thinking those marks were made after the coin was struck.
Thanks BryceM!
Here is the link to the listing I was looking at on GC, price is a little too rich for me.

They can also be thought of as PRICE adjustment marks.

The marks are considered adjustment marks and are not uncommon on 18th century U.S. coins.
The adjustment marks are distracting.... however, knowing what they are, and that the coin is authentic, offsets the issue...Cheers, RickO
I find the adjustment marks less distracting than the surfaces which have been lightened.
Adjustment marks. While too distracting for my taste, usually not a show-stopper for the the TPGs in the grading room.
That coin is not for me.
It seems to have some flaws. But it doesn't destroy its value. Where did you get it?
Knowing more information about challenge coins.
Would CAC sticker or reject a coin like this with distracting adjustment marks?
