    Those are die polish lines; they are not hairlines.

    They are "as struck", so no they don't have to effect the grade. I believe I've had instances where such lines were not identified as such by graders, and the grade has been held back; but more often, the die polish lines haven't affected the grade of my proof submissions.

    As minted anomaly, and although they affect aesthetics, they are as minted. Cheers, RickO

    Here's a 1952 PR67 with die polish on Franklin's portrait, just not as pronounced as on the OP's 1954. It's a common occurrence on the early proof Franklins.

    nice cameos but the hairlines are kind of distracting

    Here is a 1953 with die polish lines, too. The coin is actually extremely pretty, but you can notice the die polish on the portrait. It is graded PF67 in an old, fatty holder and has been given a green sticker, too, so we can see that others do not hold the die polish against the coin.

    The hairlines do affect eye appeal and value.

    Certainly coins without the die polish, or not as heavy will command a price premium (on Cameo and Deep Cameo coins) I don;t think they make much difference on non camoe coins, as the value even in 67 is relatively low when compared to PR65 coins.

    Here's one I picked up last fall that meets that "Harshly Repolished Dies" definition pretty well.
