Found these tonight. Rolls bought from my bank. Thought they were pretty neat! Sorry that pics aren't the best.

I don't think that these are Plating Bubbles at all. I am pretty sure that they're Die Cracks. We'll need much better pictures though.

Where I agree the top one looks more like a die crack
the bottom one looks more like PMD scratch.
This could be the pictures

If a cent is cut lightly, it can make it look raised and not split through the plating. But pressed hard with a blade can split the plating and make it look raised because of metal displacement. But if use a blade, it will leave a square bottom of the trench. A die crack will be raised in the center because the metal is not missing from the die on that area.

I guess yes someone could have scratched them with a blade. I guess I'm not so sure now. Here are some better (I hope) pictures. Let me know. Thanks!

The gray showing and the flakes on the coin tell me it is damage. If you could get a closer shot to see it a bit closer. The might help.

Coop, I tried to get some better photos with different lighting. Here they are. I am open to any suggestions for the photo taking and/or lighting. This is the 2015.

This is 1 picture of the 2016 and I think after this close up that it does appear to be scratched purposely.
