Remember the wavy step Lincoln cent? It's now on the Jefferson nickel.

Do you remember back in the year 2000 when the term wavy steps hit all the numismatic newspapers? That was about the time that I got involved with this anomaly type and made an off-the-wall prediction that wavy steps would be seen on the steps of the Monticello building. Well it took up until now for that prediction to come true. One of the members of Lincoln Cent Resources post a picture of a 2013P Jefferson nickel and it had wavy steps on the reverse and I was able to confirm its existence today with an in hand examination.
And to think, the term wavy steps almost became obsolete with the reverse design change of the Lincoln cent in 2009!

An example on a Lincoln for comp
The polishing of the die has been explored as a possible cause, but was dismissed due to the way trails are formed. The accompanying image shows a single trail line from the bottom of the T in CENT on a Lincoln cent. Notice how sharp the top of the line is, almost like a knife edge and the double curvature to the actual trail line.
Nice trail die JRocco. What year is it?
Thanks
It is the 1994 1DER-045
