Some of the lines look like scratches but the thick trail lines run off of the letters on obverse and reverse.

If it were Trails, they'd be parallel.

The phone has to be perfectly still when you take the pic.

Do not look like trails to me. It looks like a worn die and some scratches.

The lines only are where the letters are and the thick lines run off the same place on the letters as trails,for some reason my pictures get worse when I upload them,they are not as clear and I don't know how to fix it.

On the first picture the lines run from both edges of the L there is no lines under the L,on the S at the bottom curve a line runs from it I know they are scratches mixed in from the die being worn but these lines are different and for what ever reason the picture gets less clear as I upload it

The area between the devices to the rim are die flow. (die deterioration/die wear) Here is an example of this:

The other mark looks like a coin scratch from what I can see. No trails. Sorry

Your pics got blurry as you uploaded it because as it's enlarged the the movement from when you snapped it becomes more apparent.
