Die chips and die cracks are not errors, they are part of the minting process
so they would not be recognized if you sent them in for grading.

The cost to certify would be well more than the coin(s) would ever be worth. Just keep them safe and you already know what they are.

Anyone knows what causes those lines on the surface of this UNC lonnie from the bank roll?

Not sure which lines you are referring to but if it is the lines on the second picture,
then those are die flow lines caused by a worn die. If it is something else then specify.
Also they are called “ Loonies” not Lonnies”

That's a fingerprint.

That’s what happens when you don’t hold coins by the edge.

The only way to remove a fingerprint is to clean it right away.
Once the print has been on there for awhile, it becomes etched into the coin and can't be removed.

I tried to use a dry soft tissue to clean it but not succeed. I just picked up this 2023 KC III loonie roll from a bank a few days ago.
