coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/22/2009 09:23 am Looks more like die deteriation/wear. Remember the 1955 "So Called" doubled die? The die wear always flows from edge devices toward the rim. If you note on your coin the direction of die flow is in the same direction as the wear you thought were trails. Here is a trails coin I found the other day that I need to send in as it is not listed yet. Here is a very strong one found by MorgansRmine. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ansRmine.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/22/2009 12:28 pm Click on the image and look at the upper right of the EPU. The trails have a raised area which is thought to be created while hubbing with the hub sliding and make marks in a certain direction. On the image above the line flow NE from the top right of the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
