Markers mean nothing, if the variety is not there. Dies go through the same processes over and over, so some markers may appear on many dies. Knowing exactly the type of markers help. On the 1960's cents, it was common to find die chips/crack/breaks on column 12. So knowing what to look for counts more. Looking for markers to find variety coins, is the wrong way to search for varieties. So determine first by the variety. The markers only confirm die state of that variety. Also as mentioned on pre 1989 mint marked coins, the location of the mint mark is a first thing to check to confirm a variety.
