<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1455026, member: 15199&quot;]I can see the reverse die crack on the &quot;CENT&quot; area and agree it is there. But generally dies were not paired together as a unit, and if one developed a defect, only that one was removed and the other stayed until it failed also, so a reverse could be used for 2 or more obverse dies, and visa versa. So I do not give more credence to the markers on the reverse of a possible DD Obverse over what I &quot;think&quot; I see on the obverse.Markers are good if all else seem correct as confirmation, especially gouges or man made die markers. However, I have seen different year coins of the same type (such as LWC), which have die cracks alike as they are more likely in areas of die weakness, than randomly.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said, from photos it can be difficult to separate MDD and DD, so all I give is opinion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; No offense intended.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
