1994 (P) Lincoln Memorial Cent - P-1DEO-001T Trail Die Obverse

Description

1994P-1DEO-001T is file 001 among TrailDies' 1994 Philadelphia Lincoln cent obverses with trails: 1994P names the year and mint, 1 the cent, DEO a design extension on the obverse, and T the trail type. The heaviest lines come from the letters of LIBERTY, graded strong, and run west at 270°, toward the left edge of the coin. IN GOD carries moderate to light trails pointing the same way, and WE only light ones. TrailDies describes a coin from late in the die's life (stage C) and lists no die markers on either side, so the spread of strengths from LIBERTY down to WE is the main guide to this die. Trails like these are usually put down to the die being polished with a rotary buff, though some attribute them to the die moving against the hub.
