Couldn't match with any on trail dies. Trails on "god we trust".

Sorry, that isn't trails, but the result of a deteriorating die.

Even though there are some coins with trails in more than one direction the majority are single directional... The direction for example would be a 20 degree flow... Starting at the top of the coin going CW 0 - 360 degrees kind of like the face of a clock... Your examples all appear to be as DoubleYou stated... I know when first looking at trails my heart jumped when I saw all of those marks just to find out it wasn't... Keep up the good hunting and remember I'm no pro!!!

I agree, those are strong die flow lines from an aging die.

It is possible for trail lines to be, in a sense, buried or masked by die flow lines on an aging die. I don't think that is what I see here, maybe BJ will see something different. Thanks for posting...

In this case, all I see is die deterioration in the form of metal flow lines. While it is possible to have trail dies enhanced by metal flow, they are in one direction. This example shows a radial pattern.
