Die abrasion/polishing
Holy die abrasion, batman! Someone was on a serious mission here:
For the beginner: Sometimes, in order to remove die clash remnants (which this coin still has), the die will be heavily polished like this. This is extreme, so I thought I would post it for you.

That explains why you're so abrasive.

Most of the 1967's I pulled from my roll had this sort of scratching all over. They are uncirculated, but does this mean that they would have a lower score if I were to send them to be graded?

Not at all. In fact, we have great success with coins struck from heavily scratched dies. The raised lines from the scratches on the die sometimes do a phenomenal job of hiding any miniscule contact marks if the coin is already a superior example.
Die scratches don't get you a higher or lower grade, they aren't supposed to effect the grade at all. A coin is graded on what has happened to it since it was struck. If it was struck from dies with die scratches, that doesn't add or detract. But having attractive directional scratches as opposed to messy semi-circular scratches adds to the aesthetic appeal, which is a consideration of grading.

Probably a 1983 cent? They were polished to death that year.
