11 and 12. Light to moderate step deviation is seen under columns

5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. The trail lines are carried down to the word CENT

elements beside the stairs and also the stairs is not a rare occurrence,

it is not that common. This combination also shows the relationship

different locations. This die was found by Louis Schaeffer of Maryland.
