It was indeed struck with an old master hub. 1968 was the last year for that one, which is why so many 1968 cents have the IGWT touching or...
Thanks. Did you notice strike on the "LIBERTY"? According to APMEX, a 1968-S RD from MS-60 to MS-65 is worth from .22 to $1.70, so, there's that...

So, what are some of these "key dates" and MMs to look for in your pre-65, 90% coins? And do they need to be AU to be worth pulling out of the...
