I love the expertise of this forum but didn't want to fight the image parameters...well her we go anyway!

I noticed this as soon as I flipped the coin. I expected it to be a plating issue...and it still could be I guess. However, with the slight vertical displacement, I think these 2 could be retained interior die breaks. The larger area runs from the top most curl of the hair, down through the forehead into the field. It traverses southward, and slightly mimics the facial features. Then, it turns west and goes up through the bottom of the chin. It then makes a weird little loop back to the south. It then turns north again and traverses the cheek, up through the temple area, to the point of beginning. There is also another smaller, yet similar, anomaly around the bow tie. Take a look and give me your opinions please. Thanks friends!

I think they're planchet-related, laminations.

To me they look like die cracks. Looks like an interior die break is starting to happen a few coins after this one.
