Hello, I post here and is confirmed that this coin was struck on SMS planchet (rest of San Francisco 1967) with the Anvil and Hammer which was never send in SF because they was already finish the 1967 production. All those designs are RDV-004 Type D.

Me and my collaborators we find this only in UN sets at a % of 0.11% average.

The question for you is if the coin has DDO,DDR and RPM in same time. Of 11 find in 1000 sets by me only this has this characteristics. I know they use only 4 anvils and hammer prepared for SMS.

FULL PICTURE(My camera sucks of this full)

OBSERVE: The BER in Liberty, the rest is correct, The Date only "968" and MM upper left corner seem RPM

REVERSE: The first S, the A and ES in STATES, The T's are correct. The left upper wing has a small die crack (in the circle), which was characteristic for the 1967 SMS's Anvil. Only EP show signs of MD

Sorry, I know many questions and many photos, but I have to confirm or infirm my troughs. the coin is part of my book for design varieties and not for DDO, DDR or RPM

I don't know, Sil, this looks like MD to me. I have a hard time seeing doubling that moves towards the rim at K12 and again towards the rim at K6. Also this looks shelf like to me. (I could be wrong, but just my opinion here)
Lets see what the others have to say.

(also there is no DDO listings for DDO on VV for a 1968 D quarter)

Thanks Dear, the K12 and K6 different opposite direction on the same coin light me to ask here. For me is contraire to all physics laws of striking. Also at K12 why only the bottom of few letters and not all or also upper near the rim?

No listings currently for RPMs on the 1968 D quarters, at least on varietyvista. I do see what might be a split serif on the top of the letter D though. Maybe instead it is a little scratch? Not sure.

here is close up of MM

Silvio I have 1968 quarter. here is a couple of images

one more Silvio. there this will show it hope this helps.

From the images on V.V it shows a slight difference on the location of the 'N' near the head:

Yes COOP, maybe you are right. The N is sheriff, which it is in RDV-006 of unconfirm for SMS because the dies was never use, and is normal for 1968 D Here the RDV-004 H versus this coin at Right.

Other thing: what you think about the "S" 's in STATES and the MM?

Hope you see again this post.

i decided to remove this coin. I want to share a full image. I am doing my best trying to jam this camera. so if its burry its me sorry

closer look at the head and the N

Silvio I scaled yours and my coins. they are different.

Yes because it is SMS die 1967. Thanks.

This is a confusing thread. Rocky, you coin looks different then silviosi. The finishes are different but lighting can play tricks easily. The main focus iv seen is the N in UNUM and silviosi has yet to show a close up of that spot specifically.

I'm not saying anyone is wrong here but it seems to be a 2 way conversation that confuses me. If you guys ever Wana PM me to explain your findings feel free but your probably just out of my league for Americain die pairings.

WR: interesting, do in your league you has another die with those S in states combine with the MM? And which year?
