I have a 2008P but unsure of this being a trail die. Need some help on this one. Your help is appreciated.

I don't see it, but those little buggers are difficult to capture in pics. I think I see what you may be referring to, but just don't see any (what we've come to identify as) trails.

Let's see what the pros think.

thaLt was my first thought. Thanks Geo.

I wouldn't rule trails out just yet. Can I get a clearer pic of the coin...less color maybe?

I'll try shooting with natural lighting and see what's the result.

I see lines that in the right places, but cannot tell if they are raised and trail off or are something else...

Here is another image and I hope it is a little clearer:

Those do not appear to be trails. They do not all start on a device. I would suspect random striations or maybe abrasion scratches.

Some of the lines look right and others run between the letters and I think in at least one instance through the letter. Therefore, I'd say no to trails and yes to abrasion lines or scratches.

Thank you Bob that clarifies the analysis. I will look for some that are real trails.

It does look like some abrasion marks to me. I would have probably missed that. Good eye and keep looking

The new pic definitely looks like like abrasion lines. Keep up the searching!
