1994P-1DEO-007T Trail Die Obverse
Error
Description
Notably classified as a combination die, 1994P-1DEO-007T on the 1994 Philadelphia Lincoln cent exhibits trail lines on both the obverse and reverse — a scarcer configuration than single-sided trail dies. Moderate trail lines extend from the top and bottom left corners of the letters in LIBERTY, with an offset direction of 270 degrees (due west). The presence of trails on both sides of the coin indicates that both the obverse and reverse dies were involved in the displacement event, rather than just one die shifting relative to its normal position. Combination obverse/reverse trail dies provide especially valuable data for understanding the mechanics of die displacement because the trail direction and intensity on each side constrain the geometry of how the die pair separated and re-engaged. Cataloged by Trail Dies.
