Another one from the stash. Odd looking coin.

It doesn't look like any trail die I ever saw. It looks like some sort of occurrence, explosion, or something occurred at the six o'clock position causing these radial lines. I don't think it is trails. I'll put it down as some sort of alien crop circle.

I tend to agree with you; just thought I'd throw it out here.

I thought I recognized this phenomenon! Check this link: http://traildies.com/id55.html
Your coin was struck through a late die cap which moved when the coin was struck. Great find!

A late (super thin), struck through die cap error - nice find!

Jason hit the nail on the head. Take a look at this link which shows a 1975 Lincoln cent with the same wavy lines.
