This appears to be a combination of die cracks and strike throughs. It's kind of a mess.

    One looks like a die crack and the other line looks like struck through string going frome the bottom of one star to the next, and then to the hair. image

    Correct! A double error (though die cracks as a class are pretty common on these coins).
