Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 8:40 pm Okay, here goes: There is something unusual going on with this 1999-P cent, on some devices it looks like it should be MD but it is not flat or shelf-like.The tops of the "ED" in UNITED are warped and distorted. There are notches present on some devices and the whole EPU is reminiscent of the 2004 1DR-001 or 1DR-002 EPU's. The EPU dots seem to be elongated. The statue of President Lincoln looks like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. At times I thought it was some version of a trail die and at other times I thought it was just ejection doubling, most of the time I thought I was losing what is left of my mind. My best guess is a 1999-P 1DER-043T trail die. Am I close? Thank you for all opinions and help. Report this Post to the Staff

still lookin Pillar of the Community 967 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 8:43 pm Looks like a trail die to me. Especially the tops of the columns. Does it have the dies scratches and cracks on the obverse. It does look like the reverse. Still Lookin Edited by still lookin 04/25/2014 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 8:46 pm Look like it might be that one. Do the markers on the obverse match up? (Long die scratch through L of Liberty, long scratch from bottom of S in Trust) Everything on the reverse seems to match. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/25/2014 8:49 pm it might be this one: ~~1999P-1DER-010T~~ More images of the markers would help. But it look right from what I can see. http://www.traildies.com/1999p-1der_001-010/ Edited by coop 04/25/2014 9:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
