I see die polish lines or possibly planchet striations, but I don't see a trail die. They are hard to photograph though, so I might be missing it.

I think you're talking about die cracks on the reverse. Cracks going from the corners of the memorials to the rim are very common. The "trail" going from the back of his head is a planchet striation or die polishing lines.

ok cool thanks I need a better camera is it easier to use a microscope on my computer to better view errors then using just a loupe. And what is the best way to determine the difference between trailing and polish lines? Man this is a tuff hobby.

Thanks for everybodys help

They are hard to see and sometimes you need to tilt the coin to see them. Harder to take images of as well.
