Comparing it to 1998 WDDR-014, the other steps through statue DDR, these lines seem a tad thin. http://www.doubleddie.com/460112.html
I'm worried these could be plating bubbles, it looks like other parts of the coin have similar horizontal plating bubbles: the bay to the left of the statue even with the statue's feet, below the memorial, and below the date.
