Cud Wild Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 10:33 pm I noticed that the trails on the older coins are very faded almost a shadow look to it. The only way I could tell for sure was the letters have that melting look to it. This trail die is very wild though similar to the 1999. Its coming off the pillars in the Memorial building going down the stairs. Its coming off the letters on the top. I noticed that the trails are extremely long coming off some of the letters. At first I wasnt sure till I looked at the Ts and E in State. The top left Ts and E have that melted look to it. Its pointless for me to take a picture of the trails on the bottom end of the pillars. My camera wouldnt capture that. Report this Post to the Staff

Cud Wild Valued Member United States 302 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 07:49 am Those probably are die scratches I just dont understand why the Ts and E have that melted look that trail die have then. Trail dies are all new to me so still learning as far as that goes. Edited by Cud Wild 03/21/2011 08:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
