2- 1984 Lincoln cents

I know zinc sucks but what are all the lines on these coins. From what I gather, roller lines? Die gouge? Die scratch? Is it possible to have all these on a coin. ?? Oh, the cent on rt, reverse, the word one has a cool looking line through it. It goes under and over the letters. How dat happen?

As mentioned, with the zinc is coated with such a thin layer of copper, it picks up all of the impurities on the surface and it is magnified by the light reflecting off of it.
