I thought this one just seemed odd. Lines stretch across the penny on both sides. What would the correct term be for this. I am interested in looking it up. Thanks.

Appears to be die abrasion marks aka die polishing to remove a die clash.

They polish the fields after a clash to remove the clash marks. The field is the outside edge of the die. The devices are deep into the die. The polishing usually doesn't affect the deeper devices. Thus the lines look like they run though the devices without disturbing the devices.
