Congrats on a difficult hurdle to overcome... If not for you and everyone else collectors would only be able to encapsulate on their own... This gives the TDs' and DCs' legitimacy... Thanks for your hard work and dedication to numismatics we all appreciate it!!!

After a long uphill battle, ICG is the first TPG to encapsulate trail dies (which includes wavy steps as well). ICG will be using the number system found on traildies.com. On top of that, ICG will also encapsulate die clashes with the numbering system found on MADdieclashes.com. So, that unusual die clash will not be listed as only a die clash any more, but will have any one of the new numbers established for the different categories now seen on MADdieclashes.com.

Below are three pictures of the encapsulations that were sent in to ICG concerning trail dies. Billy Crawford had three die clashes that were also encapsulated by ICG using the new numbering system. However, since these are Billy's coins, I will let him do that write up.

I do wish to sincerely thank ICG, especially Randy Campbell for giving these two error / variety types this big chance, it does mean a lot to all of us who have worked to accomplish this important goal.

If you have any questions concerning possible encapsulation of either a die clash or a trail die, please let me know. Thanks.
