Not to sure if these marks are from someone or something that was made this way because the scratches are on both sides and I can't figure if somebody would do that or not

Someone definitely would do that, and often has. It's vandalized. Value is 25c.

[Just Bob]

Yep. It's a spender.

It is amazing what people will do to a coin when they are bored.

Yes. Witness hobo nickels, for example.

Hobo nickels may have started out as a relief for boredom, but they eventually, at least for the more talented engravers became a source of income.
