My first (and only so far) 2019 coin, and FDR has some interesting spikes coming out of his forehead and chin. Hard for me to capture in photos. Has anyone else seen one like this? They are raised on the coin; die polishing lines?

Wild guess. Stress marks.
Interesting...

Not clashed die marks, so I'd
guess die gouges or die polishing.

I agree.
Doesn't sound like there's any collector interest here; trying to decide whether to 2x2 or just chuck it in the change jar. In hand the little spikes are evident at 4-10x. I recall a few "varieties" that are just die gouges so I figured I'd post and see.
Me thinks die gouges too. Seen them before. Fred knows.
