Help identifying these marks?

Does anyone recognize what these marks are? Could they be grease on the die? I found several of these in an OBW roll of 2006-P nickels. Thanks for your help. image
Looking for info on MN national banknotes from New Ulm, Sleepy Eye, Mankato, Hanska, and Lake Crystal. Also Two Harbors, Duluth, Brainerd, and Ely.

    looks to be struck through grease or something else. It is a bit hard to tell from the pic though. Do the marks change at all from coin to coin or are they exactly the same?

    They change from coin to coin. I found about 5 in the roll with similar marks, but the size/extent changes although it's the same area.

    In that case I would say struck through grease or some such sticky material.

    Agree.

    Interesting but fairly common. Doesn't have any real value but that nickel is certainly worth saving.
