I weighed all five (four 60s and the 59) and they all came in at 3.1g except the 60 with the most fingerprints at 3.2g. I compared that to an UNC 1960-d and it was 3.0g. I'm assuming that's all within normal tolerances.

3.11 is the target weight and they all seem to be close. Not every cent weighs exactly the same and not every scale shows the same accuracy.

They are not laminations, the odds of finding 4 coins with the same die markers and showing a similar lamination in the same area are non-existent.

Something was stuck on the die.

I guess now I can place them as a succession of strike-throughs from the same die. Thanks to everyone for your help!

Very nice finds! That's pretty cool that you found them with these Struck Throughs! It was Struck Through Grease by the looks of it.

These four look exceedingly familiar, spruett001.. Do you know if these are the ones Coop used on his site to illustrate a struck-through-grease progression..? Coop..? Thanks..

No. But looking at them now, I'm convinced to see that it was a lamination issue. The coin may have been on the plus side in weight, but now slightly less. So I now feel it was a lamination issue.
