2003P-1DER-041WST Trail Die Reverse

Description

Moderate fluting line extension, into the stylobate, under columns 10 and 11. Moderate step deviation is seen under columns 5 through 8, with an offset direction of 170 degrees. Also seen are faint trail lines from the bottom of the letters in UNUM. There is not that much difference in line intensity between the two stages; however, there are added die makers that do separate the two.
