Error Other | 1999 cent feeder finger marks?

I'm not sure what these marks are. Some are raised and some seem incuse. They are exactly straight and run through the bay and the top and bottom of the coin. They are also very smooth. What could they be?

Your pics do not show up but here is the definition from the glossary

Feeder Finger Damage: Damage in the form of scrapes to the anvil die which occur when thefeeder finger inadvertently rubs across it. On memorial cents, these die scrapes always show on the coin in a NW to SE direction and until the mid 90s, only on the reverse of coins, as the reverse die had always been the anvil die up until that point. Inverse die installation began in the mid 90s, but thus far there are no known examples of obverse feeder finger damage on Lincoln cents. On older cents, such as this 1944S wheat pictured below, these feeder finger scrapes exhibit in a N-S direction. I am currently unaware of when the angle of the feeder finger to the die was altered. That coin and photo are courtesy of forum member Roller.

Thank you for the information. Can you see the lines on the reverse of the cent? If you can, that is what I'm talking about.
