Just trying to help the guy out. I'd hope one day he could become a competent numismatist and stop chasing things that aren't there. There is...

They are actually just breaks in the toning and not hairlines... Almost like something lightly brushed across it after it was toned. I saw the...
YUCK!! Details all day in my book... All of them shown actually...
The last picture is the best representation in hand. It's a very hard coin to photograph. I didn't even attempt it with all the high quality pics...
