westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7648 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 01:17 am Welcome to the Forum! Your coin is a common circulation business strike Philadelphia minted coin. They were purposely issued without a mint mark. There were a few Proof strike coins from the San Francisco mint that were struck with a die that did not have the "S" mintmark punched into the die. Those coins were only issued in proof sets. Those few issued proof coins without a mintmark are very rare. Similar incidents have occurred over the following years. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75368 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 01:53 am Just a regular business strike with a lot of circulation wear. Worth 10 cents The 1968 no S reminds me of the 1990 no S proof Lincoln Cent. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 08/20/2017 03:37 am I agree that it is a common business strike and not a no-S proof. Take note of the uneven thickness of the rim on the obverse (heads) called a mis-aligned die (MAD). That's common for business-strike coins and is a negative identifier for being a proof. Stick around. You both will learn a ton here.
