Not die polish, flowlines. See how the lines all the way around the coin radiate outward away from the center of the coin? That is the direction the metal moves during striking radially outward. This moving metal creates wear and flowlines on the die faces. When the die is new these lines are microscopic and contribute to the flashy cartwheel luster. As the die is used more and more the lines get bigger and more prominent as we see here. Eventually they get very bad and start distorting the lettering.

I agree. It's not an error. It's just a worn and deteriorated die.

Ill tell you what, If it hadnt been for a girl I know that brings me pocket change pennies, then I would have never found that double mint mark penny. You never know when you can find something rare and valuable even if it takes picking pennies off the ground!

in my opinion I would say polish lines but I'm no pro. I sharpened your pics so some of the pros could give you a better idea.
