These "rolling marks" appear from time to time on different denominations . Here is an example of a dime that has these same marks . Notice that the unstruck portion shows them , so they are definitely there before strike . Hope you can make them out from the picture .

P:s: - this one also demonstrates that the obverse isn't always the lower die .

Nice dime Errorone2012, I can see the lines. But I just read yesterday that the obverse is always the anvil and always has a longer shaft that can not be used as a hammer die unless experimentally machined to do so.
