2009D EC 1DER 001 010
2009D(EC)-1DER-001T 260°
DESCRIPTION: Moderate trail lines are seen from the top left corners of the letters in UNITED. Also seen are trail lines from the E of EPU. This is the first time trail lines have been encountered on an incused design element. This feature adds further credence that trails / wavy steps are not related to a doubled die or created by polishing of the die. The offset direction is 260 degrees.
DIE MARKERS: Stage “A”, obverse is LEDS – a die crack is seen on the back of Lincoln’s head.
Reverse is LEDS – a small die dot is seen between the EN of CENT.
NOTE: This die was found by Steven Bernatowicz.
