There aren't a lot of these.
The most valuable is probably the 1967 DDO with the PUP in In God We Trust. My favorite is the 1968 which shows up in the date. There's a '66 DDO as well as a '70. The most dramatic is a '70-D DDR. They changed the reverse several times and there might be some mules. These are usually created at the beginning of the year when the operator changes the obverse die and forgets the reverse die. Watch for RMM's too.
The best bet is to put a set together of the best you can find and then you're more likely to notice when some coin doesn't fit the norm. You'll also have a reference collectyioon to compare it to.
Several varieties also appear in mint sets. These are the '68 DDO, '70-D DDR,'89-D DDR, '71-D/D, '69-D/D, and '87 D/D.
The RPM (repunched mint mark) '69-D/D is very dramatic but wasn't discovered until the 1990's so it's a safe bet there are still lots of new varieties to be found in dimes. This one appears in about 5.5% of mint sets and shows up in circulation as well.

Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
