Behind his head and on his head is a liner trail gas bubble. Not an error but a plating issue. John1

My first thought was what Fuzzy suggested: a deep die "scratch" or gouge. If it's a plating blister, that should be testable. See if it is penetrable by a small blunt ended probe or even a pin. Of course this method may destroy the effect. Either way, interesting!

 We are always interested in New finds, even if they don't prove valuable.

Well that means that the two lines that this penny has are not something interesting  ... then it means that I still haven't found something that is good enough for my interest to continue on the path of the coin search    ........

It is called a Linear Plating Bubble. I've found a coin once that had it across the Memorial and the fields. They look neat until you realize what they are.  They flatten with a toothpick. Worth what it says on the back of the coin.
