Yeah coop what gets me on this coin though is that they are visible literally everywhere except the highest points. It's on Lincolns check and neck, his jacket, on the reverse in the lettering and the steps, even where the picture doesn't show much it's there to the eye and light is washing it out in the pictures. I didn't know what to make of it or what to call it but I came down to those two options. I think if it were linear plate bubbles it wouldn't be literally everywhere and so uniform in size.. but I don't know that for sure and on the other hand, no clue what exactly to call it. I feel like it must be pre-strike and the strike can't completely obliterate it for some reason, but it's a really decent strike overall and I think it should have or the stike should be weaker. Perplexing. I like your explanation though.
As far as value. Meh it don't matter to me. Its been tucked away since 2005 until I dug though coin boxes and remembered it's there and today was that day. Lol. just never knew what was going on really which is why I hung on to it. Probably deserving of a nice 2x2 for a reference piece. Maybe in 30 years people will come to value them. lol
So it would possibly be rolling lines if I had to name the issue?

Could the lines be on the blank before plating? Die abrasion,like to remove a die clash? John1  |

These are roller lines left on the coin metal sheet by the rolling mill before the blanks were punched.

Will Brooks has written an article on these and he calls them (if I recall correctly) striations which are caused by roller lines as Coop and Stoneman have stated.
The striking pressure as well as the depth of the design can affect how much/many are visible on a struck coin.
John1, they are on there as the sheets are rolled out, so yes, before the copper plating.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

So blank/planchet issue not a plating issue. John1 |

I see these on a lot of LC's. This one the lines are more pronounced than usual.

Man I'm looking into all this now and learning quite a bit as well, thanks for pointing me in a direction. Really glad I posed this as a poll to get people to look at it a bit deeper. LOL. You guys truly are a wealth of information! You be surprised how hard it is to look this up without knowing what to call it.

Hi Greasy Fingers, Found in a roll of 2005 cents in 2005. when they were wrapping them with plastic (do they do that anymore? lol). I'm pretty sure I was trying to find a couple best examples of business strikes at the time to set aside because of the satin finish mint sets.

Brinks used plastic tubes the last time I got a Brinks box. They laid the rolls flat vs standing on end as in String and son and Loomis. I got two boxes Friday. They had paper rolls laid flat. They had no markings.

Interesting DrDon, I had thought maybe the rebellion against all things plastic might have phased out the plastic shrink sleeves, landfills needing space, saving seabirds and dolphins and such. I'm a fan of hunting the Loomis rolls, and the NF Strings seem OK also, I'm not a fan of those orange and white paper rolls without markings on them at all, seems like I never find anything of any significance in those. I haven't seen a plastic wrapped roll in person in at least 10 years, only older rolls on ebay. |

The last Brinks box Igot was 4 or 5 years ago. It had plastic rolls.
