Just found this one! Not great condition, between circulation, DDD, etc, but seems to have a lot going on with trail dies. Traildies.com only has a few examples, and, this is not one of them. Looks to me, that both the bottom and the tops of the letters could be considered trail dies. Thoughts? Thank You!      Edited by snailking1

most likely Radial Flow Lines Oh No! Another new thing! You're killing me!   But seriously, Thank You. Some of these things are tough!! They seem to look so similar to one another, that I get easily confused  |

You're welcome.  I know, it's a pain to learn all of the coin terminology.  Errers and Varietys.

I haven't called them that. In trying to look stuff up, I've seen it - somewhere.

yes, these are radial flow lines - they are created by the expansion and contraction of the die's metal due to the heavy pressure and rapid repetition.
I don't think that they are related to striations though.
