Hello and Welcome . Okay, that's different . I have no idea .
Can I recommend something ? After downloading Pics , click the "Full Image " mark above all your attached files just before clicking " Post Reply " .

 

Welcome to Coin Talk. What's the date of your coin? Also, you should post a photo of the entire reverse of the coin. If the date is 1982 or later it could be linear plating blisters you're seeing. That's why a pic of the entire reverse is needed.

thank you for the information. It is a 1984 D. Here are full image pictures of the reverse.

 

Looks like it took a hit across the staircase. The very last picture above is quite telling. Looks to be gouged with displaced material.

 

To me that looks like linear plating blisters in a zinc cent that just happened to appear on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.

 

I think they're scratches
