Hey guys or gals i need your help on this one is it a m/d or d/d and it appears that the 8 is really close to edge as i'am always saying new and learning thanks
There are some variety site for this coin, that list DDO(s) . Keep in mind there's a MDO . http://www.doubleddie.com/814681.html http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/dietype.php?date=1968&die_mint=s&die_type=do&page=0 http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO 1968-S.htm
The Master hub had been in use formany years and through its continued use it was "spreading". So by 1968 when they would cut the hubbed dies down on the lathe tot he 19 mm diameter, the lettering and date were VERY close to the rim. In 1969 they corrected that problem by creating a brand new master hub with a smaller bust and all the lettering moved in closer to the center.
This might help you, I would say that yours isn't a proof, there are two on this site, see if you can match it up. http://varietyvista.com/01b LC Doubled Dies Vol 2/DDO 1968-S.htm
