John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/28/2009 7:01 pm 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. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 10:12 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 12:02 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 1:04 pm It's what I have always thought they were, because almost all of the trails are accompanied by fine die scratches. Too coincidental. Report this Post to the Staff
coindexter Pillar of the Community United States 869 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 3:36 pm 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. Edited by coindexter 11/29/2009 3:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 3:50 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
