[QUOTE="TS10, post: 1726223, member: 47611"]Hello Everyone, I recently stumbled upon this penny. It's a 1968 D that has some very unusual markings. Even the pillars on the reverse side monument are slanted. There are what looks like high and low spots where the grease squeezed under tremendous pressure escaped between the planchet and die. The date even appears to be doubled, which seems to be a pretty common thing on the '68's. I saw a similar penny on one of Coin Talk's member's avatar, but could not find him again. I would like to ask him what year his penny is. Can anyone help me on this? I had an idea just now.
