snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1238 Posts	Posted 04/01/2026 10:32 pm Found this one tonight. Looks like a Trail Die (but I don't see any listings prior to 1981 to match) Decided I needed to get a couple better closeups. Believe I am changing my opinion and agreeing with E&V Trail Dies seem to typically all be parallel with each other. These all follow the edge of the letter. Thus, the lines do appear to more follow the pattern of Radial Flow Lines Edited by snailking1 04/02/2026 08:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

Was thinking that it's strong off the corners of the letters, so it might be a trail die. Interested to see what the consensus is. Thank You Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10479 Posts	Posted 04/02/2026 04:11 am I'm going with what E&V stated: Die Deterioration flow that cut into the dies surface! Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8728 Posts	Posted 04/02/2026 09:01 am As stated, Die Deterioration. Trails run at the exact same degree, yours is following the radius of the coin. The marked up pic with yellow lines is how it would look if it were trails. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
