I agree with the above. @rub, there isn't really a MAD or off-center strike here but rather the tops of those letters have begun to merge with the rim due to circulation wear and original positioning perhaps from die wear.

This is a MAD strike and the letters may be at the edge - but not falling off.

Every 68 is like this. The master dies were wearing out. Take a look at the 69s and you'll see how much.
