Strange how it lines up with the die lines from top of forehead down to the neck. Was planchet damaged and then struck?
No, probably not . More likely occurred after sometime. No added Value . Striations - Raised lines on coins that are caused by the incuse polish lines on a die. These tend to be fine, parallel lines, although they can be swirling or even criss- crossed . Planchet striations are burnishing lines that are not struck away by the minting process and appear as incuse lines on the coins.
