Montgomery do you have a microscope. you need to look very closely at the creators EH. I believe your s is raised. why I say that I can see a shadow behind the letters. all the 1968 I have checked all was in-cursed into the coin. but I did check a friends collection for him. he had one thats the same as yours. I would really like to find one. Montgomery could you get me a picture of your obverse. I need to see your obverse of this coin

Hi, I try 2 pictures of the EH. Hard to say for the relief but both letters have doubling. Thanks!   |

Montgomery yours is the second coin that I have seen that the initials that are raised. I have gone through many many of these coins. all the coins I have plus checked they were all pushed into the coin. Montgomery your coin matches his perfectly. here is the teller obverse double punched N Regina. I have no idea what your coin is worth. this coin is a definite keeper. the finish is in excellent shape. this coin should grade fairly well. congrats nice one

Thanks rocky! For classification purpose, how did you describ this one. I don't think REV005 would be fine...?

Montgomery this is up to you early fall this year. there will be an digital catalog coming out. the mate coin that matches yours will be listed. see Montgomery there is a little more to your coin. if you dont mind waiting for a little while longer. everything you will need will be listed there. also there is another 1968 dollar. I have 2 of them so far. wait till you see this coin. if you come across one you will know right away. its very different.

Now this is a real error, most likely aided but still really cool in hand, The coin is about same diameter and size of a regular 68 dollar with a nice brassy toning, although the price is also out of this world. It's a copper

I suspect it is a trial piece... I have not seen it in hand... yet.
