2014 (P) Lincoln Shield Cent - P-1DEO-010T Trail Die Obverse

Description

2014P-1DEO-010T shows trails off the ERTY of LIBERTY, the right-hand end of the word behind Lincoln's head, at 090°, due east, toward the right rim. As TrailDies writes it, 2014P is the date with the Philadelphia mint, 1 the cent, DEO an obverse design extension, 010 the file number and T the trails. Its middle-state obverse has no markers; on the reverse, a die chip is forming at the shield's upper left edge. Daniel Messano found it. Lines like these are normally attributed to polishing the die with a spinning buff, with movement between die and hub offered by some as the alternative.

Die Markers

• Stage “B“, obverse is MDS – none noted.
• Reverse is MDS – a die chip is forming along the upper left edge of the shield.
