<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BadThad, post: 1820910, member: 17261&quot;]1968 was the last year for the obverse master hub. At that point, the hub was so worn that the dies produced from it had a dished appearance and the outer devices were getting very close to the rim. I believe the strike and the particular planchets they used made the 68&#039;s look a little different - especially when compared to 1969 and later after they made a new master hub. I suspect your not only seeing a color difference but also the overall look of the coin. Another interesting thing, these coins seem to stay red a LONG time. I&#039;ve pulled hundreds and surprisingly quite a few are still red![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
