1993P-1DER-054T 080°
DESCRIPTION: Trails from the right top corners of the N and E of ONE. These lines are naked eye visible on this coin. The offset direction is 080 degrees. This die was found by Jimmy Ehrhart of Florida.
DIE MAKERS: Stage “A”, obverse is LEDS – none noted.
Reverse is LEDS – die clash in bay 4. Small die gouges in the bottom of bays 10 and 11.
1993P-1DER-055T 200°, 340°
DESCRIPTION: Strong to moderate trails on the left side of the die, tapering off to the right. Very strong trail line from the U of UNITED that crosses over the N. While the I is not affected, the TED has trail lines and distortion. Affected is the word STATES. While the trails are not as strong as in UNITED, all the letters, except the last S have some indication of trails. Also affected are the letters in EPU, the upper left portion of the Memorial building and some letters in AMERICA. All these trail lines have an offset direction of 340 degrees. Oddly enough, the word ONE has two letters, the N and E affected by trails in an offset direction of 200 degrees, which makes this a dual directional trail die. This die was found by Patrick Gaughan of Penn.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “B”, obverse is MDS – a plate bubble issue precludes finding any die markers.
Reverse is MDS – none noted.
1993P-1DER-056WS 180°
DESCRIPTION: Light step deviation is seen under columns 5, 6, 7 and 8, with emphasis on the right side. This die was found by Louis Schaeffer of Maryland.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “B”, obverse is MDS – none noted.
Reverse is MDS – die dot on the first S of STATES. Small die gouge is seen below the E of CENT.
1993P-1DER-057T 090°, 270°
DESCRIPTION: Prominent trail lines can be seen from the NE of ONE, with an offset direction of 090 degrees. Weak trail lines can be seen from EN of CENT, on a reciprocal bearing of 270 degrees. The roughness seen between the letters of ONE CENT is from the die scraping along the hub face and is not caused by die cleaning. This die was found by Katelyn Schaeffer of Maryland. This die is very similar to 1993P-1DER-054T, however, the offset direction has a 10 degree difference.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “C”, obverse is LDS – none noted.
Reverse is LDS – vertical die scratching seen in all bays. Die gouge in bay #3. Die scratch under the last A of AMERICA. Notice the die deterioration doubling seen under CEN of CENT.
1993P-1DER-058T 070°
DESCRIPTION: A single trail line is seen coming from the T of CENT. This die has been heavily abraded to remove a die clash. The one thing that is interesting about this die is the difference seen between the trail line and the die abrasion lines. The offset direction is 070 degrees.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “C” – obverse is LDS – small die gouge below the two nine digits of the date.
Reverse is LDS – heavy die abrasion to remove a die clash from the reverse die. Both dies appear to be of a similar die state, which would lead one to believe that the die clash happened early on in both dies. It is obvious that the obverse die was replaced, while the reverse die was still used in service.
1993P-1DER-059T 000°, 180°
DESCRIPTION: Light trail lines can be seen on the top left corners of the N and E of ONE and the top right corner of the N in CENT. There is also another set of trail lines, the reciprocal of the first from the bottom left corners of the E and N of CENT. The first set of trails has an offset direction of 000 degrees, while the second has an offset direction of 180 degrees.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “C”, obverse is MDS – none noted
Reverse is LDS – die chip on the lower left side of column 3. Heavy die scratching is seen, especially in bays 10, 11 and 12.
NOTE: This die was found by Louis Schaeffer.
1993P-1DER-060WS 190°
DESCRIPTION: Moderate fluting line extension is seen entering into the stylobate under columns 2 and 3. Moderate step deviation is seen under columns 5, 6, 7and 8. The offset direction is 190 degree.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “B”, obverse is MDS – a small series of die gouges are seen in and around the S of TRUST.
Reverse is MDS – a die gouge is seen between the letters in OF.
NOTE: This die was found by Jean Lee.
