<<< Those are called ‘roller marks’, and were made during the production process. They are fairly common on Morgans and are acceptable on mint state coins. >>>
Really?? You should also correct David Hall and Wayne Miller who refer to those lines as die striations. David Hall also has stated that heavy striations on the cheek will typically limit the grade to MS64 at best unless the coin is otherwise exceptional.
Your hobby is supposed to be your therapy, not the reason you need it.

It need not be a matter of correcting anyone, as sometimes people use different words synonymously. Those look like what I think the majority of numismatists refer to as “roller marks”.

Combine PCGS and NGC and you're over 23,500 Peace dollars graded 66/66+. CAC has stickered under 3,400.
Greysheet on common dates in 66 is $415. CAC 66s are at $500. Not much of a margin for shipping/insuring/stickering expense: $85. Looking at coins like the OPs that failed? Not worth submitting unless they're better dates.
