Shall appreciate comments

    Might be (extremely) heavy die polish lines (not sure from the photos) but not an error in any case.

    Unusual and definitely not as nice as the usually come. Interesting but most here would probably spend it.

    Look at the 2nd photo, and you can see the
    lines going thru the C and E of Cent.

    So I don't think it's a die issue - and there are two
    diff. coins showing that show differences in the
    lines. Could be 'bad' or defective planchest of
    some type, but I've not see these surfaces like this
    all over the surfaces of apparently both sides...

    Or it could be PMD - just can't tell from those photos

    Could it be an odd plating issue?

    Further findings and reading, specially http://www.error-ref.com/part_iv__die_errors/ lead me to believe that the markings on the coin ralate to die damage, either die scrapes or accidental die abrasion, a describer in the web link mentioned above. May I have your opinion?

    It is a planchet problem much like the bubbles you find on zinc cents, it can form lines rather than bubbles.

    Here is another example.
