1947S lincoln date trail?

Just checking my old stash of wheats, and was checking for an RPM here when the bottom of the "7" caught my eye.
From what I've seen on traildies.com, I don't think it is a trail, but I wanted to present it or submit it if anyone would like. It's pretty minor though.

It's not a trails die Phil. This looks like die wear.

Yep! That it where the phrase, "If you snooze, you lose", came from.

I apolgize guys, worried about photobucket cutting me off for using too much space, I am sort of testing it now to see how many or how much space I can keep there indefinately.
I can bring them back here, its an interesting oddity.

here are a few of the pics, I thought I had more angles to get better definition of the end of the "7", I can do more imaging if anyone thinks its needed. Maybe someone at the mint getting crazy with the buffer.

Yep, I can see. And those shots are real clear, nice equipment and lighting.
Thanks Coop.

Is that VLDS, is that very low die state? I've seen MDS and LDS on traildies.com, but havent asked.

EDS Early Die State
MDS Mid Die State
LDS Late Die State
VLDS Very Late Die State.
