I have found about 2 dozen of these coins with these marks from 92 to 08.. Ive about researched as much as I can but am at a loss as to what they are and if it is a common occurrence. I was thinking they were die clashes but not sure.
You coins die suffered with Feeder Finger Damage that affect the die. These fingers eject the coin after it is struck. Probably bent and was scraping on the die making the marks you are seeing. They could be polished off the die and that is what usually happens when they get that bad.
