| I never saw the point to this. I see marks on a small percentage of coins, and I seldom see the same marks twice. If the goal is to skip past a coin previously examined, then it seems like the effort to mark all coins as they are examined outweighs the benefit of occasionally examining a coin twice. Maybe I am wrong. |

I thought they were scratches too but when looking at pictures (4th,5 & 6th from last) the scratch appears to come upward from the coin with the "cud" like residue protruding outward. If that makes sense. On the other hand, the die markers are there under the B, the window and not sure about the nose for DDR1
I believe what you are seeing is a deep scratch. You can see the recessed portion of the scratch in the middle of the raised area. The raised area on the sides of the scratch is where the metal was pushed up as the scratch was forming. If it were a die crack there would not be any recessed areas in the middle of the crack line. Hope that helps! |

I found this one while CRH. This is the second version of this particular DDO I have found now. This one appears to be FS-50-1971-D-101 from the Cherry Picker's Guide, but please let me know if you disagree. Compared to my other example, the doubling is just a little sharper on this one, especially at the top of the "U".
