Not sure which line you are referring to exactly. The vertical lines at the beak or the diaganol lines at the arrow tips? In the top photo there...
There is a lot of damage on this coin making it difficult to decipher lines from scratches. I would not qualify it as a spitting eagle though...
Sweet!
I agree it is just a very worn die
I can see the line further in that you are talking about and my only answer is that there are 2 lines making the shape of his throat that can show...

I am uncertain Meow, the fort has always looked like die chips to me but Rick just listed a wexler # for it so I must be wrong. You are on a roll!
Nice meow, I have yet to find any of the doubled pump variety. On the Fort McHenry, I have not done any research on it other than hearing it...
