Those look like very heavy die polish lines on the obverse, probably to polish away some clash marks. The reverse is most likely the remnants of that clash.

Its not really an error ,,polishing the die to remove blemishes from a die clash or other damage(I believe this one represents a cleaned up die clash as was already said) is a normal procedure and does not carry a premium or a designation as an error in this condition . Here is a 1943-S that still shows the clash ,,notice that the clashed areas on this coin match pretty closely to the one pictured ,, the only difference is that this one still has the clash and it is considered an error ,, they are pretty common and do not carry a very big premium .

I would not call it an error, nor would I call it a variety. Just regular die polish, although much more severe than most. I guess I would classify it as a "normal" coin.
It is fairly common to see clash marks and/or polish lines on many coins in many years and many denominations.
I like that coin Metalman, Clash marks like that will always scream BUY ME BUY ME when I see them. To me it's like a bonus !

with the clash polished out it is worth what the coin is worth or a little less ,,
with the clash still present it is worth what the coin is worth or a touch more .

Raw means not in a Third party graded slab .
