    New 2006-P Nebraska 25c trail die?

    I think I have found a trail die not listed at traildies.com. I guess this coin would be about uncirculated due to the fact that I got it at a gas station but it looks better than some uncirculated coins I have seen. It is a 2006-P Nebraska quarter. It appears there are trails running southwest from:
    1) the bottom left of - the P mint mark, the I, the N, the D, the T and the R
    2) the middle left of the G
    3) the left bar of the top of the T

    The only place I see it is on IGWT & the mint mark.

    Hope you guys can see it, if not I will try to get some better pics.

    P.S. - Is there any value to trail dies?

    I want to send it in.

    I have noticed many people have viewed this with no responses. To BJ and Jason: I promise I am not trying to get out of paying for attribution and encapsulation. I just do not want to waste you guy's time, or money, if you do not think it is a nice enough specimen. I wish I could get better pics. However it is hard for me to hold my loupe on the lense of a little Fuji digital camera, and take a good pic without moving (makes it blurry) or getting out of focus (also makes it blurry). If you guys could see it I am sure you would laugh out loud. I am just trying to see if it is worth both our whiles to send it in. If it is it WILL be sent. You have my word. Please do not take this the wrong way. I am in NO way trying to be rude or anything. You don't know how much you guys have helped me understand numismatics a little better, and I am truly grateful.

        Sorry for the delay, but being at the FUN show from start to finish and then coming down with a cold/fu bug has left me just about useless.

        Okay, it is a trail die and I would be happy to take a look at it and add it to traildies.com

        I will send you my address through the contact form that you sent.

            Update and thanks!

            I sent this coin to Mr. Neff. I got it back Monday and BJ wrote "This one was a bit of a surprise since it had trails on both the obverse and reverse dies. It will be listed in traildies.com as 2006P-25DEO-002T(NE) and 2006P-25DER-001T(NE). It will also be listed as a major trail die since it has trails on both sides of the coin." I also sent a 1978-P Jefferson nickel, that appeared to be a die clash, for advise on whether to send it in. He wrote, "This is a common clash associated with this series of nickel. I will enter it into MADdieclashes.com as TDC-5c-1978-01." You can't believe how happy this made me! Special thanks to BJ. I would also like to thank Jason Culliver, Mikee T. Davis, Jamez, and Mike Diamond for posting comments on my posts. Thanks go out to anyone else who posted also. Also, to Mikee, I guess this quarter makes me the Quarter Trail Die Deuce if you are the nickel trail die king, as I have only found one! (Poker pun intended!) Thanks again guys, I am hooked for sure!

              Congrats..I've must have missed this post.. Glad to see more people are excited about finding trail dies.I remember when I first went on the hunt for my first trail die.I didnt know what was a trail line from a die scratch until BJ helped me along.Just as I was tossing in the towel BJ told me not to give up and after that history was made.I wanted to make a foot hold some where, so I seen at the time only 3 dies was listed in the nickel column.Thats where I landed!Im very proud to be apart of something like this.Keep them coming because I surely will!! Good luck and thats for sharing!!
