I came across several of these in a roll. All of them have these same oddities. The line of the ear is all jagged and in the "V" of the jaw with neck muscle are 4 horizontal lines which I believe are small die cracks. It's very hard to tell. How would the ear oddity be classified?

Last pic is from me holding the scope to try and get a better picture of the ear. Picture is skewed counter-clockwise from obverse.

I can't quite tell if you've got some tiny die chips or just circulation marks on this quarter.

In the last picture, there are a couple of feint raised areas next to the dark shadow and then below what could be a hit mark. Angle of the picture is somewhere between 30-45 from vertical.

Seeker_101,
What are you using to take pics with? Way too much glare,you need to filter your light source.Pics also look a bit out of focus. The better the photos the better we can help you.As to this coin,die gouges or some kind of die clash?

looks more like Reed Marks to me.
I use the Tomlov scope too for my closeups - but I never use the built in lights, I have a lamp farther above and to the side of the scope and use natural light as well
