It will be easy to tell for sure if this coin left the mint in this condition if all of the raised lines are die gouges. it could be possible for something at the mint to goof up and make these raised lines such as a ejector or feeder finger , this would have been before the mint changed over to the aluminum feeder fingers. then again like me and others are saying this does look to be intentionally done.
