I know what you mean. I never have much luck on the reverse scratches either. I think you have to have the light just right. I believe I read a post on here that, if you can find the doubling and at least two of the markers then there's a good chance it is the one.
Keep in mind that the reverse die could have been switched out during the minting process. So the markers on the opposite side of the variety may not always be there.
