For some reason they look raised to me - like the scratches are in the die.
I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

DOCC just for future reference. the only way you are going to see hairlines like this is from die polishing. you will never see die polishing across the face of devices. add to that, that if they were die polish lines we cannot see any on the fields where they would be

you're entitled to your opinion, just wanted to point out that this would not be on the die
