Hmm they look a bit like roller lines, but I'm not sure. I'm interested to see what others think.

That is an area where die clashes happen:    Also note the obverse die is slight out of alignment. (MAD Mis-Aligned Die) Making the clash mark even closer to the affected area during a clash. Just a die event.

I am not seeing a die clash. Roller lines is the first thing that came to my mind. John1

Yeah I'm not completely on board with this being a die clash either as these lines are on a part of the design which would be way down in the die. Don't we predominantly see clashes on the flat fields surrounding design elements?

OT question for all. Is the Obverse off enough to be considered "Off Center"?

@twi, yes good catch. Since only one side is off center, this is called a mis-aligned die. Normally, we advise folks that there is only a numismatic premium when some of the letters start to fall off the edge. Of course keep this one if you want until a more dramatic example comes along.

Quote: OT question for all. Is the Obverse off enough to be considered "Off Center"? The reverse is centered, making the obverse a MAD Strike. as for the lines, I'm with the others for them being roller lines.

Thanks guys for all the responses! The coin is a little MAD. Does that account for the lines across the face and neck area?

I guess that makes it a mad roller. Thanks to all for the help!
