146 Bids On This Shield Nickel?

Dooly I think the area you are indicating are showing planchet striations not hairlines from wiping. (Although in that case I would expect them to be running in different directions on the two sides. The way these are running the reverse die would need to be rotated 180 degrees.)

The auction ended with 166 bids, and with Member k***t placing quite a few bids at 2 cents over the current high bid, it's no wonder why there were so many bids...
