No, it is not a Western, just how tricky it is to capture some "trail" dies on camera.
I was recently given this 2005 Lincoln cent to attribute and at first it appeared to have some very weak trails from the EPU
If you look closely, you can see the weak lines from the tops of some of the letters. However, when the photo is taken with very low light, this is what happens.
At best, trails and even wavy steps are a hard subject to capture. The light must be at the right angle and intensity. This even holds true for viewing the die with a loop or a scope.
