    Uh oh Jon.
    I think you have. Now you have nothing left to search for.

      Yes, it is a very trail die Jon! Congrats! Have you looked at traildies.com to see if it matches a listing?

        Sure is.

        Also, look at the tops of the pillars, they have sawteeth from the trails.
        That shows like that on the really strong ones.

            Thanks Viv!! Yeah, I checked last night and did not see anything. I'll try to get some better pics this evening.

              Thanks Ed!! Good eye. I'll try to scan the coin this evening to see what else I missed.

                Happy Trails to you my friend Nice find... I zoomed in and other than the circ wear there are trails on the tops of your columns... The closest I have found so far is 1DR-020T http://www.traildies.com/1998p-1der_011-020/ - 43T http://www.traildies.com/1998p-1der_041-050/ but you will need to confirm that... Take a look at 59T http://www.traildies.com/1998p-1der_051-060/ and that shows how strong these get Way to go!!!

                    I think when I looked at these I must have missed several of the files. It's in the last set of files you mentioned I think but it's 51T, the first one in that set. There is a piece of gunk on it but it has the marker in front of the chin and I see not mention of that marker for the others in this file. Thanks Jim!! Your always hooking me up!


                    Actually, what I'm seeing on the chin is lower than the listed marker. I'll try to clean it up a bit when I get home and look again.

                        The chin marker on 51T is a die clash... Other than the columns I can not tell what other trails you may have.... I also do not see any of the feeder finger gouges on the rev???

                          I think it might be 043T Jim. I can see many of the trails but am having a hard time getting pics. Here are a few plus markers that the 043T have. http://www.traildies.com/1998p-1der_041-050/

                            Your pics turned out really well Jon! Still comparing to the listing...

                            Edit: Jon, I looked at 028 as well and based on your marker photos I think you are correct that it's 043. Congrats, this is a nice TD!

                              Thanks for looking it over Viv!! I think the circulation wear wreaked havoc on a lot of the reverse and washed out some of the trials somewhat. If it is an 043T, it's a Top 50 too!
