They can come from mint bags, circulation, cleaning, etc. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

And it's with that in mind that I express doubt these lines came as a result of die polishing. They're too irregular - too curved and differently-spaced - to seem likely for die polishing. Further, the Mint normally applied this process in directions either vertical or horizontal to the orientation of the die, not so often at angles. Also, there are a sufficient number of marks on the raised portions of letters, generally oriented in the same direction, to help convince me that whatever caused these lines is post-Mint. Look carefully at how the light plays on this image, and you'll understand that the lines we see here are not nearly all of the lines on the coin. This is, of course, no 67. Neither NGC nor PCGS have slabbed a 1928-D at that high a grade - 66 is Top Pop. With the mention of "NNC," I won't necessarily assume it's even Mint State and if it is, 65 is a stretch.

However, we can only use what we're given and to me the lines seem to be on any of the devices. As far as the direction of the lines, they can be all over the place on Lincolns. They don't necessary follow any pattern. I've seen many that appear to be PMD at first glance, but closer inspection revealed they are not. Lincoln Cent Lover!
