Hi All, Would you please give me your opinion? To me it kinda looks different than all, but very similar.
Thanks, Teryble
Sorry if I got a little carried away w/ the pics

Hmmmmm...
The L of liberty looks similar and the shape of the B (slightly curved spine and slight doubling) looks about right and the amount that the motto is pushed into the rim looks about right (although all 68 cents are near the rim).
So all that stuff looks similar.
Try zooming in on the areas of doubling in the motto, I don't see it in the pics, do you see the doubling there?
You might need to look at different angles/lighting to see if it's there on the motto.

Looks normal to me? Nice images and an early die state EDS/MDS. They always take such great images. They smile so pretty.

Coop,
The motto looks normal but the LIB looks like something?

If it were doubled the letters would be wider on that area.

Coop, I gotta go along with ED. The "L" does have a nice sidebar, in fact, a bit more than the one you posted. The other letters show a bit of "middle-age spread", which to me looks awful close. If there were less glare,, it would be more notable, IMHO.

I don't see a doubled die in the first coin posted in this thread. I see the normal and typical very worn out hub used in 1968, which is why they changed the design the next year.
