When I am attributing varieties, sometimes the markers are actually something else that can be attributed. Here this dime has a nice RPM, but the marker for VarietyVista Stage C is a Spike Head. I checked and it wasn't listed so this coin has been submitted to JC for possible listing. It just seems like if the marker on a variety is attributable, then best if that is done so that things can be cross referenced more easily.
1944-D/D Mercury dime - RPM-003, FS-501 Spike Head (stage C)
Thanks! The left obverse field is a mystery to me. My guess is that the area had some toning or similar and someone removed it. But I just don't know much about silver coins at all so could be something else.
