Description

TrailDies records 2011P-1DEO-019T at two die states. In both, lines rise from the letter tops of LIBERTY at 350°, a little west of north. The number gives the 2011 date, P for the mint, a 1 for one cent, DEO because the design extends on the obverse, file 019 and T for trails. Mark Britton found the middle-state coin (stage B), which has a tiny die dot under the B of LIBERTY and a crack starting along the shield's top left edge. Shannon Causey found a later one (stage C), where that crack has grown into the field, a gouge sits above the O of ONE, and a crack with a chip leaves the shield's upper right edge at its apex. Die polishing with a rotary buff is the usual explanation for trails; some attribute them to the die moving against the hub.

Die Markers
