<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Keyman64, post: 2282634, member: 75130&quot;]One of the die markers on the obv is the long die crack but there or Mercs of that date that have a very similar die crack and are not the DDO/DDR.&nbsp; Always best to just check th date.&nbsp; The DDR can only be seen with a 20x and steady hand inc you know exactly what you are looking for and have seen it before...for the most part.&nbsp; The are also reverse die cracks as markers.&nbsp; I have owned an early die state that had no die cracks though so that is not the best way to check on this variety.&nbsp; The toning makes it a little harder to see the die cracks sometimes...although, now that I look again, I do see one of the reverse die cracks.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty sure you have one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to be the Mercury Dime Series Expert for the next Cherrypickers&#039; Guide, due out next year.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
