Here is a link to my website. It is under development, so there is a lot of work to do. Just scroll down to the 09-S VDB and you will see my example...
the metal was struggling to flow naturally (either slow or fast) possibly due to a buildup of the impure metal used to strengthen the copper in that area plus the odd depths of the surfaces causing inconsistent pressure/flow issues.
i didn't look all that closely at the larger images but it could just be the toning in that area making it look like it is the metal instead.
edited to add a snip of the image i think LCS was talking about from his site.

Yes, his coin has the same zipper markings and wood grain toning. Thank for posting this.
What a beautiful specimen you have there! Love so many aspects in your coin. The mysterious "strike through" appearance, the old school holder, the exquisite toning, the photo taking, the history of the cent itself and certainly the grade and value. Thanks for sharing.

welcome.
i would think it could be the die(s) but it is seen on so few coins.
Love that coin. Absolutely beautiful. Can’t go wrong with a s vdb
Strange. The coin above looks like a tread mark rolled over it.
