Hello ,
I have seen lines like this before & was just wondering what they are & if they have any value . Thank you

They're the result of die deterioration.

I agree, they are VERY common and have no value to true collectors

Being able to notice these types of anomalies helps you to find variety and error coins that are more collectible. I think you have a good eye for this kind of anomaly and it will likely lead you to a nice discovery coin some day.
