<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2096225, member: 11786&quot;]I found this on eBay yesterday--if you look carefully at the seller&#039;s pic, the markers are there (arrow). It&#039;s an interesting die blunder--it makes me wonder how/why it happened--it almost looks like someone hacked on the die with a sharp tool. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie27" alt=":bored:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> There is also roughness and deep abrasions to the portrait--perhaps they were made from removing rust to the die? Two obverses are paired with the reverse die. I suspect I have the obverse with an MPD too.

There were other bidders, but I still got it for an average catalog price for this grade. So far it looks pretty good--but I&#039;ll post nicer pics when it arrives. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8626/16673492006_a4f8c3b4c0_b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><i>MS picture of the ODD-001 from the site linked above</i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
