2013P-1DER-005T Trail Die Reverse

Description

Discovered by Joe Koelling, the 2013P-1DER-005T is a trail die reverse variety on the Philadelphia Mint Lincoln Shield Cent. At mid-die-state on both sides, this variety is notable for its heavy die clash markers on the obverse and corresponding die clash marks on the reverse, documenting a significant clash event where the dies struck each other without a planchet. The die clash is also cross-referenced as TDC-1c-2013-01 in the MADdieclashes.com catalog, linking this trail die variety to a documented clash die attribution. The dual listing across two independent attribution systems, trail dies and die clashes, underscores the multi-feature nature of this variety. Collectors examining specimens should look for both the trail die vestiges and the clash transfer marks, as the combination creates a layered set of diagnostics where secondary hub impressions and clash remnants coexist on the same working die.
