Trail Dies feedback/questions thread
I wanted to start a specific thread for feedback, discussion, and questions regarding my trail dies article. I would appreciate any feedback from those who have read it, and I also welcome any discussion or questions. I also have more of Ray's photos that I could post with his permission, which were cut from the article due to space constraints.

Will, many of us are not subscribers to Coin World magazine so we are not able to read your Trail Die article. Can you give us a few tid bits? Or even better, we want to know ALL about it with photos and the whole nine yards!!!

Viv, Click on the link - I had no problem opening up the whole weekly magazine even with my slowww internet connection.
Die deterioration and the mint cleaning up problems with the die makes good sense. Nicely written and got to the point quickly. Well done.

The polishing I am talking about in the article in relation to trails generally takes place as the die is prepared for service, before it strikes any coins. However, die deterioration could certainly exacerbate the effect.

Traveling this week and while it might be pipe dreaming I'm hopeful to find a cooy of Coin World either at the airport or the coin shop in the little Iowa town I'll be visiting.

I found the article rather persuasive. I do have some questions, though. On any particular coin, trails usually point in one direction (sometimes two). One would think that a buffing wheel would change position during use. Do you see the consistent directionality as indicating that the buffing wheel is mounted in a stable holder and then lowered onto the die face by operating a wheel or joystick?

Would it be possible to get this information from the mint??? Would be interesting to know if it was or is still performed by hand or machine!!!
