Description
The trails on 2012P-5DER-010T come from the building's left side, from MONTI in MONTICELLO, from the FI in FIVE and from UNUM, pointing at 340°, north-northwest. In TrailDies' code that is 2012 and P, 5 for the nickel, DER for design extension (reverse), file 010, and T. The entry calls both sides middle die state but lists nothing on either, so the set of letters carrying trails is the guide here. TrailDies names Jim Kames as the finder. A rotary polishing buff run over the die is the usual suspect for trails, though some instead suggest the die moved against the hub.
