they look like Reed Marks to me-when the edge of one coin strikes another and leaves an impression

Reed Marks - these coin are fairly heavy and when they are minted they drop into a collection bin where other halves can drop on top of ones already minted and get hit the the reeded edge, thus making these marks.
