Montgomery Valued Member Canada 432 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 8:54 pm I was looking some 10 cents 1994 for tool damage on reverse side but I found on this one what could be trail dies on the left hand side of the coin (reverse side). What do you think about it? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

From the looks of the pic its too blurry to tell but to me it looks like a finger print IMO Finding and discovering modern Canadian doubled die varieties since 2018. 2023 Recent Publications: Modern Canadian Doubled Die Varieties - First Edition PDF & Paperback https://www.mcddv.ca - (New Site, Second Edition, Registry & Services coming fall 2026) Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5337 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 9:38 pm You are correct, but never heard of a trail die, I just think some collectors are trying too hard to imagine or see small imperfections on circulating coins, they are not made to be perfect, just a so called OK standard to serve it's purpose.

Montgomery Valued Member Canada 432 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 9:47 pm They are not fingers prints. Take a look to this post for tool damage on 1994 dime: http://goccf.com/t/366974&SearchTerms=1994 Go down and find the coin number 4 picture. You can see the begining of the trail dies on the beads too. The post is not from me and the coin is not mine too so I can't put my fingers on both coins... You can find trail dies on canadian coins 5 cents 1953, 50 cents 1996, 50 cents 1968, dollar 1973 and now I think 1994 may be a year to add. Report this Post to the Staff

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1187 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 11:00 pm I'm well aware of what a trail die is but for those who don't those are some good links you posted. I cant really say this is or is not, but your photo is not clear enough to make any kind of determination. If you can provide a better photo with the coin out of the 2x2 we may have a better idea of what we are looking at. From my standpoint it could be something as simple as a fingerprint on the 2x2 plastic, or there very well could be trail dies on the surface, but right now you cant really tell anything with the photo you have provided IMO.
