I found one the other day. Just been waiting to show it off. I didn't see a listing for it yet.
Maybe its on one of his "Hidden Files?"

Speaking of trail, I did this one last night for Jean L. It is fairly uncommon since it is on a proof 2000 Lincoln cent.

BJ, Is that trails, or wavysteps? I have been calling the ones I find, like those you posted, WS. What is the difference? Thanks,
Dick

Okay, wavy steps is the result of trails going through the stairs. Wavy steps is a distortion similar to the distortion seen on some of the letters when a trail passes through or originates on that design element.
So, we can say this; wavy steps are only found on the Lincoln cent (so far). Wavy steps are a result of trails.
This is best explained by looking at the stylobate when it has trail lines; when the trail line passes through the horizontal line that forms the levels of the stylobate, it distorts that horizontal line in the direction of which the trail is traveling. This is the same thing that is happening in the steps. What you are seeing is the distortion and in some cases the actual trail line in the stairs.

BJ, thanks for your explanation. I guess the only other option we might have for WS, on another coin is the nickel., (as long as they use the same devices on it. While I can't look directly at the trails/WS, I can use something we learned in the Navy, "Night-vision". It helps me with my situation. It takes a bit more time, but it does work.
Speaking of trails; how about that 1869 coin Kurt posted? That is cool!
