Steven - You must be in a hot spot for trail dies. Both of those are new. If you get a cnance, send them on down if you will.

So these trail things are popular? I'll have to back through some cents.. I thought it was die deterioration..

I don't understand them as BJ does I think that this occurs during the hubbing process making them die varieties rather than errors or abraided.
I have seen some listed for a fair premium on an auction site. Not sure how well they sell though I hadn't kept up that much. I just saw an opportunity to collect another variety and jumped on it. :)
BJ has listed several of mine and I am always glad to help.

Pat - As Steven pointed out, they are starting to become popular. By the way, they are the same thing as wavy steps, only in a different place, so when talking about way steps, you are actually talking about a form of trails.

Thanks Steven

Yeah.. Consider me almost blind.. Because I don't get the whole wavy step thing or at least it doesn't stand out to me.. Any premium examples to share with some markers?

[Steven]

And another. This one not so pronounced but a different die showing the trails to the north. Already package three to send to BJ or I would have thrown this one in as well. Maybe not listable or maybe so?????????

Steven, I might have that die listed, however, it is always better to make sure.

Thanks,

BJ

[Steven]

I set it back for the next package.:)

Okay Pat , you want some pictures. Sorry that they are B/W, however, I am getting ready for the FUN show, so these are some old ones.

This is a 1994P Lincoln cent with very strong trails. If the offset direction had been 90 degrees (160 degrees), this would have been a wavy step, like the next picture.

This is the strongest wavy step known to date, it even affects the lowest step. From 1999, this is listed as die # 15.

I tried to start a new thread, but it would not let me. :squigglemouth:

[trails]

Okay it is me, wavysteps, under a new name.

Sorry to say, they are not trails. It appears that this is the result of die abbrasion.
