But to this extreme where each of them are all raised?

There is really nothing extreme about these lines, that's how they are struck, they are all pretty much look alike.Let's not forget we are looking at these so called cracks which they are not, at high magnification.
Here are the samples of a proof Fillmore.

WOW!
I'd be really ticked to waste my money on a piece of crap like that, expecting a proof coin to be better.
Heck, plus the edges are rough, and the lettering is gnarly.

You have a point, but once again we are looking at these at 30X magnification you see more than the naked eye sees, but yes it is what it is .

Chase007,
Yes, point taken about magnification, but why do all other Presidential dollars I look at have smooth edges, clear lettering, etc?
Are the dies, and process, that much different?
