<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2253962, member: 11786&quot;]I found this 1869 Uruguay 10c at a show. It&#039;s sure an interesting coin! It&#039;s not just a nice doubled die, but the oldest trail dies coin known--&quot;<a href="http://www.traildies.com/foreign-coin-trail-dies/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.traildies.com/foreign-coin-trail-dies/" rel="nofollow">1869(URY)-4(cen)DEO-001T</a>&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Since trail dies are mostly known on US coins, I have posted here.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few pictures...first the date area. Obviously, the date was on the hub--it was a single year issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7478/15821907057_633a6108c0_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The doubled die (black arrows) is pretty obvious in this picture; the white arrows shows the position of the trail dies.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7481/15820402590_00373e539c_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have yet to find a second example of this coin. For a Heaton mintage of 6.25M, there could be a lot of obverse dies--easily 25 or more.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3543/3416439717_0731a1de53_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
