I found a 2010 penny that looks like it has two raised die cracks and one that I'm not sure about.

The one off the leaf may be a crack. As for the other 2 lines, for some reason 2010 was a year where you saw tons of those lines on the pennies. Not cracks, but I'm not sure what causes them. I always thought they were just random lines until I saw 2 pennies with the same hooked line in the same place. Maybe someone out there can provide us with an answer.

The 2 lines if raised along with the ones that penny saved have mentioned are die scratches/gouges.

I've tended to think the same thing, but wasn't sure. Any idea what would cause these gouges to be so prevalent on the 2010's but not on other dates? There are a lot of 2010's marked like this, but I don't remember seeing them on other years.
