I am going to say no because normally there would be smooth edges for a struck through , this is too rough with metal movement.

I agree with: Could be easily faked as a struck-thru.
and as Odd states, the 100 - 400 tonnes of force used to mint coins would leave
a much smoother finish on a struck-thru with no rough edges. IMO

I'm thinking that they look more like multiple hits from the reeded edges of other coins.

It looks like PMD to me. Reminds me of impressions from springs. |

agreed PMD on this one - possibly a spring was pressed into the surface.. |

I also think it is a PMD. The zig zag impressions are fresher than the coin's age. |

Definitely looks like a spring to me. Hard to tell from the pictures but are they indented or raised.

I agree, PMD, but still an Ike!  |

This looks like what hand engravers call a "wriggle cut". it is done by rocking a hand graver left and right while pushing forward.
