1987 Lincoln Cent With Textured Finish

It looks like a plating issue. Interesting.

Looks like rolling lines that didn't get removed during the strike. Most of the time they don't show up until the BU finish is gone. Other times they show on the planchet and weaker on the strike:

Note on the un-struck area, how the lines are there before the strike and they weaken after the strike. They don't warrant a premium as they are common to find on zinc cents. You can see them after the finish goes away on other denominations also:


Unlike woodies, these will wear off the higher devices. On a woody the imperfections of the mix of the raw material will be seen even when the coin goes through wear:

It's commonly called "roller lines", you find more info on it by searching "planchet striations".
