2011P(SAC)-100DER-001T Trail Die Reverse

Description

Discovered by Mike Carroll, the 2011P(SAC)-100DER-001T is a trail die reverse variety found on the 2011 Philadelphia Mint Native American Dollar in Position A orientation. Trail dies occur when a previously used die leaves residual design traces on a replacement die during sinking or finishing, producing faint ghost impressions from an unrelated design on the struck coin. The catalog designation follows the Trail Dies numbering convention, with the T suffix confirming trail die classification. Both obverse and reverse are documented in Early Die State at Stage A, with no significant supplementary die markers on either side. The 2011 Native American Dollar reverse honors the Wampanoag Treaty of 1621 and the concept of diplomacy, continuing the annual reverse rotation that began in 2009. Position A denotes the specific die orientation relative to the coin's edge lettering — a critical attribution element for dollar coins struck with edge-incused date and mintmark. This variety represents documented trail die evidence from the early production run of the Sacagawea-format dollar at Philadelphia.
