I see some behind the head that I think are die polish but I would tend to concur with Just Coins on this one. Most of what I am seeing look to be planchet striations. Die polish tend to run in many directions, planchet striations all in the same direction. All the lines on this seem to be roughly parallel and running from 12:00 to 6:00. There is a patch of lines behind the head that seems to be running as a 30 degree angle off the vertical.
The die HAS been severely polished though, as can be told by the separation of the hair "ponytail" from the back of the neck.
