After looking at it the way I did The link was one of them I wish I didnt post that things LOL

IKR Thats what made me look at it

 

It is possible that there was a planchet flaw, and at the high points, the strike pressure would be fairly weak and show the flaw after striking. This effect is very common on larger coins like Like dollars and early coins that show adjustment marks.
