With that analysis I could not agree more. Some nice DDRs on that year, but hard to impossible to match many of them. And now with the addition of 8 new class III dies on VV recently it gets even more complicated as they all look alike (master die anyone?). I had one nice one that I couldn't match and just sent it in with some other dies I couldn't figure out to Dr. Wiles a few years ago, and now it's DDR-003. Are there just more that aren't listed or just not enough markers shown on the ones that are listed to figure them out? Probably both are true.
The die scratch in the A as a marker for die 6 seems a bit questionable, as I've seen it in a lot of DDRs for that year and either die 6 is really the common one, or it's a master die marker and on many coins. I don't see many non-DDR coins to compare and see if it ever shows up on a normal coin to verify that one way or the other.
