This is a great looking die from 1999, Philadelphia mint, that has strong extension under just about every column and the posts (urns). The column extensions are so strong, they affect the bottom step of the Lincoln Memorial building.

That's wild, BJ. It looks like it's melting. I also see clash marks, but those are certainly unrelated to the wavy steps. I don't see any trails, but that's pretty common. The two phenomena can appear separately or together on the same die.

Those are about the waviest steps I've ever seen. Nice Coin!!
