Is the 8 in 1968 a die error?

It looks like the 8 got smeared from a circulation hit.

The '8' is in the proper location, the '6' is tall, giving an illusion that the 8 is lower than the rest.

Also it appears like the 8 took a circulation hid, flattening it a bit,

Not an error. Just a circulation hit on the 8. PMD. Just a spender.
