[QUOTE="Bmmartin, post: 4398412, member: 98956"]The common indicators/die markers - Reverse: West and North of the E on DIME, die chips Machine doubling on ONE and M in "ONE DIME" Die crack from the S in "Pluribus" up to the acorn Obverse: the "5" I think this is all on Youtube, though. They point them out. MD is on everyone I've seen, but that's the machine, not the die. So, its presence isn't a great indicator because it should be missing once they've tightened the machine up? Die crack is missing on at least 3 I've seen. That makes sense if we're speaking of die progressions, correct? (MDS?) I've seen one where the die chips near the E are almost non-existent (EDS?) IMO, there are four better markers to look for than the die crack and the MD; each one I've seen in-hand or in photos has them. Two you can see on almost every photo I've seen, the other two, you'd have to see in-hand, unfortunately. Not a significant variety according to what I've gathered, so no point in highlighting them because we'll see what the indicators are when the CPG comes out. I could be wrong.[/QUOTE]
