    2008P J. Q. Adams dollar with trails

    Although this is far from being one of the spectacular trail dies, it does have a few milestones.

    It is the first recorded dollor coin with trails (others have been seen but never filed).

    It is the first 2008 die that has been reported with a trails.






    Trails can be seen from the flames of Liberty's torch and from the ES of STATES. The offset direction northeast. This is now in the trail files as 2008P-100DER-001T.

    I would like to congratulate Mary Fantauzzo for this excellent find. Thanks Mary for your sharp eyes.

      I believe I found one very similar.

      It has trails in same direction from the torch (north-east). Also, the letters ES of STATES show the trail.

      I managed to find in among rolls distributed by the US Mint.

      Very Cool. (be sure to double-click the smaller image for a larger view).

      Thanks.

          BIM - if you check the obverse, I'm sure you'll find that Ole Johnny Boy has a severe case of acne The several I've found all have the same markings.

            This is def the case, MaryJF.

            I was picking up those markers on the obverse and setting them aside to look closer at a later date. Then I started looking intently at the reverse face and 'wha-bam', there were the trails.

            I've found several others, the degree of trails vary, some weaker, some stronger.

            Thanks.
