Another question about blistering...

[amnight]

Wanted to know if the lines behind IN GOD could be blisters or are they something else? Thanks... Again.

Those look like heavy die scratches. Keep in mind that blistering can only occur on post 1982 cents, when the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc, and your coin is 1970 (95% copper).
Keep up the hunt!

Those lines are probably die gouges. Maybe from a tool that rubbed against the die. Wouldn't be able to pin it on anything specific, nor is worth anything because they are there. Sometimes dies get hit, banged, rubbed or scraped and incur what we call die gouges, dents and scratches. All would be incuse (recessed) on the die and raised on a struck coin.

Plating of Lincoln cents started in 1982, so this would be copper.
