Polished Dies... or Just a Polished coin? Need Second Opinions on Hairlines

standfor

So I thought it’s pretty straightforward... looking for raised lines or scratches, checking if the lines go all the way to the raised features or stop a bit short, etc.
Long story short, I ran into this 1946 10 mil that looks like a true gem with a super strong strike, but it has these hairlines all across it.
Now, I’ve seen that before on very high-end coins with polished dies, but this one first struck me as being cleaned. There’s just something about it I can’t quite put my finger on.
Then again... I’m not so confident about it, and the problem is, I can’t really make up my mind beyond any doubt, and keep yo-yoing about it.
What do you think? Any advice?

There seem to be lines on the raised devices, which makes me think cleaning.

I agree with cleaned. The scratches run on the devices which would not show on die polishing lines.

Although I agree with the lightly cleaned, I do believe if you blow the figures up that you will see that many of the striations end PRIOR ro crossing the devices.

It's nice to see everyone in agreement!
Because a lot of the hairlines look legit in hand, my guess is that this piece had polished die lines to begin with, but someone later polished it again for whatever reason.
Also, these lines seem mechanical, right? Maybe from a bench polishing wheel or a tool a jeweler would use?
I wish I had the means to magnify the photos beyond what my Nikon with a micro lens can do. It would be great to see whether the marks are raised or sunken into the surface, even just for educational purposes.
