  I would think its some kind of strike thru, but I really don't know for sure. Are those marks on the coin incuse or in relief?

  Struck through a very late stage die cap, i.e. late stage brockage.

  Late-stage brockage. The cent was struck through a die cap in which most of the reverse design was flattened and expanded out of existence or out beyond the confines of the striking chamber. The faint, raised bust of Lincoln is simply a ghost image that bled through the thinned metal of the cap from the obverse die.
