hewart Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 4:09 pm I had stumbled across a site talking about die trails the other day and while discovering another die crack, I think I may have found this on this coin. These are like fine hair extending from Lincoln's head near the die crack. What do you think ? Report this Post to the Staff

Fairly common. You will know when you have found a trail die, they are very unique.
