<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alabama Stacker, post: 26798230, member: 136297&quot;]It was indeed struck with an old master hub.&nbsp; 1968 was the last year for that one, which is why so many 1968 cents have the IGWT touching or merging with the rim.&nbsp; It is not worn off, it was struck that way.&nbsp; I&#039;m also interested in what appears to be a DD or DS on the &quot;LIBERTY.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s possible that it&#039;s not mint state, though MS-60 may of course have numerous contact marks, bag scratches, or heavy scuffing.&nbsp; I&#039;m no expert at grading coins.&nbsp; I do use the CoinKnow app to help get an idea, and it makes mistakes, but is consistently within about 2 or 3 points of actual certification grades.&nbsp; It said MS63-65, so that&#039;s what I was referring to.&nbsp; But if you can&#039;t begin to assess the surface condition from the poor quality of my cameras, then how can you be sure it&#039;s not MS?&nbsp; I included one bad one just to show Lincoln&#039;s button hole, because I can rarely see that so well.&nbsp; In person, this coin pops out more than other reds.&nbsp; I&#039;m including another picture of the obverse with different lighting.&nbsp; Thanks for the input.</p><p><img src="https://scontent-atl3-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/662121726_10241080082200144_7539853433247727449_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p640x640_tt6&amp;_nc_cat=108&amp;ccb=1-7&amp;_nc_sid=a0f3c3&amp;_nc_ohc=04sEafcAa2YQ7kNvwF1_bPZ&amp;_nc_oc=AdqfPkJz94TTVKfrUojfnCRHwQhZjW2Z4gHsbg040bDYOFg-e7tMYaOZo9CU_mWpK8B3Kelb4Q0X37asToWim8s2&amp;_nc_zt=23&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-atl3-3.xx&amp;_nc_gid=mOkvOY-ObBq8or7hDz82MQ&amp;_nc_ss=7a3a8&amp;oh=00_Af37Oe54_FamdZSenrwjcxtPNAedArqokyx54813evPN4g&amp;oe=69D3E4D0" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
