With the parallel lines also showing up below the jaw along neck, I would suspect that this is feeder finger die scrapes as opposed to a clash.

I also disagree with Marv (sorry MV) But this is FFD and as you can see, even though it is on the device, it is in the lowest part of it (highest part of the die).

Not 100% sure on this one but would lean towards a clash, it's too "clean" looking for Feeder Finger Damage, it's usually "scratchy" looking. Here is a side by side comparison of the clash alignment and where I think the clashing came from, circled in red, remember, as Brand stated, the clash alignment is almost never perfectly aligned, it's always shifted and rotated. Also, the scratches under the neck/jaw area are from die polishing, more than likely from a clash. Just my take on this.  -makecents-

At least two things convince me these are feeder finger die scrapes.
The width of the raised lines and that they all seem to be parallel to each other, even the ones by the jaw.
It might just be the images, but I see no other signs of die abrasion on the obverse.

An overlay is needed, but looks like FFD to me.

He's down - call the match! lets call on the next match... Sorry makecents, but I disagree with you - If the lines on the planes wing created a clash, it would be way down on the neck (while keeping the same angle. If the reverse die was rotated CCW the lines would be more vertical, and if rotated CW, they would be more horizontal. and lower on the neck  I still think that these are Feeder Finger Damage - the lines (scrapes) are of different thickness'  |
