Can copper scratch other rocks and minerals?
I would say not likely. Most metals are rather soft in their pure form. One of the most distinguishing characteristics about metals is that they are sectile, or easily cut with a knife. Silver has a hardness (on the Mohs scale) of 3. That is probably not going to scratch many other minerals.
