Thanks for sharing TB. I'm guessing the scratches all over are attempting to cover up that it was cast and give it a more worn look.

I would tend to agree with most of the comments above. And yes, it is likely the "coin" was purposefully damaged a bit and then given an aging effect to make it look like a lightly circulated coin. Still bring in nice dollars but not so nice that the flaws would stand out so much. Sort of creates a distraction.
