It is MMS-008 (Tall S). It was the only style used in 1968. It was used from 1952-1955 & 1968-1974. It is a proof. As for a different material being used on the S, that is not possible. It is the same material as the obverse layer. As the coin is struck, the metal flows into crevices on the face of the die, to create the letters & numbers. Report this Post to the Staff
kalinas New Member United States 46 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 01:00 am Thanks a lot. But "S" really looks different as a material. So, as you know all letters and date of proof coins look as silver and have shine. This "S" has no shine and is gray. I have a lot proof coins and for fist time I see such "S".
