Hi brefos,
The EPU certainly look a lot like trails to me. Have you compared them against BJ Neff and Bob Piazza's traildies site?
Other than that, you will need to wait until they wake up and start looking here to check your pictures...

That is a trail die and a very nice one at that. Notice the pronounced distortion on the top bar of the B and R of PLURIBUS. The offset direction is 320 degrees.

I did a fast look through on traildies.com and could not find an exact match, however, there are some that are similar. If you can not find your die on that site, please contact me and we will see about getting your die in the files or at least looked at.

nice trails i haven't found one on a penny yet. i really should start looking at everything instead of picking dates.

Sweet! That would be awesome to find a new one.

BJ, PM me your address for attribution, please. Thanks!


BTW, are these worth anything?

Since these are a die variety, "yes" they are. They would fall into the same category as RPMs and doubled dies (some even believe them to be doubled die).

I am in the process of putting prices on the traildies.com site, however, I have been a bit busy with other more demanding projects, so I have not completed that work as of yet.

I have PMed you my address.

Thanks,
BJ Neff

BJ, I sent it off today. I was looking at it in better light and there are way more trails than I have pictured. You'll see them.

[brefos77]

I got my cent back today. Thanks for the attribution. I found a 1995 last night that I will post tomorrow.

Did you have a new listing?

[brefos77]

Nope

It is already on the site, listed as a 1998P-1DER-026T. This is only the 3rd found, and BJ owns the other 2.

I WILL find a new listing, though!

Keep looking and still a nice find.
