I see it. It's just MD. Very common on the dates of '69-S Cents.
Die markers can be used to help match up a variety to a certain stage of the die's life, but keep in mind that the true pick-up points, and the...

Thanks a lot for the pending nightmare in the error section. When they start telling us that we're all wrong and that they have a million dollar...
Nice finds. Look like atypical die clashes. You can see an overlay of what a typical clash vs. an atypical clash here:...
I'm also in the cleaned xf details camp.
