What do you mean by "these"? You'll have to be more specific. What do you see?

You didn't say what you see as the errors,
but if you're talking about the two 'lines'

Its just damage.

 

You need to learn more about the minting process. Otherwise, you are going to waste a lot of time looking at circulation damage. I've provided a link to a series of articles about the United States Mint in Philadelphia which explains how dies and coins are made. I would suggest that you save them to your favorites for future reference.
