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.
Errers and Varietys.

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.  |

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.

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