According to Kevin Flynn and John Wexler, in their book, "Treasure Hunting Franklin and Kennedy Half Dollar Doubled Dies", they note that this is one of those varieties that markers are not needed to identify. It could probably lay claim of being the strongest half dollar doubled die of any series. Better check your pacemaker before finding one of these! Besides being super dramatic, it is extremely rare [especially in high end UCAM condition].

Extremely strong Class I Rotated Hub doubled die. The doubling is stronger on the left side of the reverse seen as almost a full letter separation at 3 o'clock. Extremely strong doubling on UNITED and E PLURIBUS UNUM. Very nice doubling on STATES OF and HALF with nice division lines seen on most letters. Nice doubling seen on DOLLAR especially on the serifs on the D and A. Doubling weakest on AMERICA. Doubling also seen on the outer elements of the bell, especially on the left side.
