The first photo looks like die polish where the lines don't continue from the field onto the device. Some of the other photos look like hairlines.
I’m on the cleaning side on this

all 3 - got some die polish, cleaning. and something else (roller lines or lines in planchet not struck out)
The small classic commemorative gold dollars were frequently used in jewelry and suffered the usual fate of being cleaned and polished. I see both die polish lines and evidence of cleaning in your pics.

Yup, friction contact lines going in many directions, so I concur. Peace Roy

I agree with above.... die polish lines AND cleaning AND some PMD.... Likely due to being in jewelry or just plain handling. Cheers, RickO
Thanks everyone
