Bag marks is what I see.
How many different halves did you post here? more than one for sure (not counting the 2014) hard to break out the different coins without identifiers.

Probably 4 or 5 coins from the roll. I will split out photos with ids for each. Thanks.

Looks like weakness. Not the affect areas are showing a slight rough texture? If feel there was some grease deep into this die, that prevented the full strike, thus the area you see is what the unchanged original surface on those affected area, and the lake of detail was prevented during the strike. Not a coin contact issue. Other wise the rest of the design would have been affected the same way by damage. This is not a damage issue.

Also keep in mind that the new coins have the lower profiles. (Probably the reason they die scratches are more noticed on the fields) on the older dies that used a three or move hub process, the profiles are higher. Thus they scratches are probably not noticed as much.

These are sold as unc from the mint, that doesn't mean that they are perfect. Just that they have never circulated. Quality control has been going down at the mint for some time. What I don't like is when they make coins specifically for collectors, they seem to have a qc problem. I guess you can put these in the same category as collector's coins seeing they are NIFC.

If the coins dumped in a bulk container, they will be damage from contact with each other. The weight of the coin makes the contact marks deeper on the coin that is it were a dime because of the weight difference. damage and strike weakness don't add a premium for them, it actually is a distraction and lowers the coins grade.

the quantity of contact marks varies significantly from batch to batch, and it looks like you got one of the more beat up batches unfortunately

Your coins are the normal ones for Denver this year. And to complete the COOP: After strike the coin fall in an big bin then will pass in an counting machine and fall again in bags. Then will be transported in bags by Truck to one of the 12 bank which will distribute. There will fall from bags in large (10 bags) counter rolling machine. Now you can understand why those scratches.
Second Show an deteriorated Die. The working Dies deteriorate first on the high of the head hairs.

So I guess "extremely circulated but only while at US Mint" still counts as "Uncirculated". Is it the same process they use for the Uncirculated sets?

No. For uncirculated sets the coins after was counted, fall in an big bin. Then the bin will move to the line for uncirculated sets and will be dump on the line and then by machine will be orientated and the also by machine will be put on the sets. Exception of this rules are the special uncirculated sets and the first strike coins. Those last sets are only from brain new dies.
