Do you think they are worth keeping? I don't know much about them but I just found a 1999p LMC trail die so I'm curious. Top left of ER  Top left bays 3-6  Top left EPU and bottom left last S of states  Edited by newhobby

I have a few LMC trail dies--I would keep them.  Maybe they'll get popular in the future?  I also have the earliest known trail dies coin--from 1869.  |

That's awesome. This one has very noticeable trails on over half of the reverse elements so I thought it was pretty cool.

I found three close ones on that site but couldn't match the markers.

I know I won't get rich on trail dies or bar on columns but they are fun to find non the less.If I only stayed in this hobby to find rare,high dollar value coins I might as well retire from the hobby all together.

I found and own the 2000p 1der14t pictured on traildies.com. I like them and have a bunch more but that one is the most extreme one I have.

Well bars and doubling are Hub Doubling....aka....Doubled Dies. It stands to reason the more severe the Doubled Dies/Trail Dies...combined with the number of coins minted with that variety will impact the value. Supply and demand.
