I actually found an error TJ dollar I call the "Leaky Torch" error -- it's probably a bad job of die polishing which left an area approx. 1/8" X 1/4" of lines as if an eraser had been used on the coin.
It wouldn't have seemed like much independently, but I found TWELVE identical pieces in one bank roll!

I received 10 unc TJ dollars - 4 of which show what you described - to verying degrees. In one case it shows on both sides of the torch. The lines are more defined and almost parallel or radial resembling weak rays.
Maybe we're onto yet another major mint screw-up!
