Thanks John1, I have been very fortunate with Jefferson nickel Trail Dies. I have been so busy, I've been lucky to search one roll every 24 hrs., yet I have found around fifteen of them (including six or seven discoveries and six Majors). I have been very lucky indeed. Life is good and I'll ride that train as long as I can.

Excellent trail die. I am not to sure why there are such nice trail dies appearing on 2013-P nickels, but a very nice find. Can you send me the images so that I can get it on site. The other 2013-P Jefferson trail die is now on site that you sent.

Thanks BJ, I've been wondering the same thing. They obviously had a lot of trouble with their equipment and/or operators. I don't know how you do all you do, but your work and website is appreciated. I'll get these off to you shortly.

Cleatis87, a Trail Die is a coin that exhibits parallel "extensions" of devices. They are strongest at the devices and traiiil away to nothing. They were created on the die when it was being faced. The die moved horizontally against the hub. The fact that they fade farther from the devices is due to the movement occurring at the time of release. O-F, Sudz, and Tommyjet, I like them too. They can be all over or strongest at one side. I attribute that to a slight tilt as it was being hubbed. Glad you like the pics Tommyjet, I just use a cheap little Coolpix camera and a 60 watt light bulb. It's all about the direction the light comes from.
