Found this 1968S that appears to have trails from the G in FG. Is that what it is? Your help is appreciated.

I think that is just from die wear, Larry.

I thought just wear to start with also. You see plenty of it in that area. But I was looking and found this one:http://www.traildies.com/one-cent-proof-reverse-dies-with-trails/

Maybe?

You linked to a proof coin, so it cannot be the same die.

I wasn't going for the exact coin. I just noticed that it had actual trails in the same area.

Will, The "trails" are very soft and blurred in addition to my pics being blurred. I respect your expertise and accept your answer. Thanks, Larry

They appear to be die deterioration lines, which tend to be mushy and not sharp like trail lines. While the designer initials can have trails, they are more similar in appearance to the Proof 1960 cent that was sited in this thread.
