Just found this one a few minutes ago. I am 98% sure it's a trail die. I checked traildies.com but it wasn't there. Must be a new one. It's on LIBE of Liberty, comments welcome.

1984 is a hard year to find trails, I found the first for that year after a year of looking for one. send that one in, it will make a good addition for that year. Congrats on a nice find.

I search around 8 rolls a day. There are not many 84' on traildies.com so I am pretty happy with this find

It could be older die scratches that eventually flatten with continued use. The areas next to the devices is the last areas to eventually disappear. Usually die trails are at an angle from what I've seen.

I believe that's what most of the trails are - very fine die scratches that result from a fine rotary brush of some sort used to buff the die.

Could be. Never thought of that before.

It's what I have always thought they were, because almost all of the trails are accompanied by fine die scratches. Too coincidental.

If only coins could talk....
I don't agree because I have seen and have a trail die coin that the trail lines don't run in the same direction as the die scratches.My belief is the lines are made as the coin is being ejected. All trail lines I have seen run over the top of die scratches.

It can't be that as the lines would be flat and not raised. Also more examples from the same dies wouldn't be possible. Thus no need to number them.
