Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10044 Posts	Posted 07/27/2017 2:33 pm The way the 8 is flattened, it took a hit (or two) from something. It looks like the hit displaced the metal to make this anomaly. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/27/2017 11:52 pm The 1968 coins suffered from extreme die wear. As dies wear, the metal flows outward from the continued pelting of die on coins. The dies are removed and "repaired" to increase life use. The face is polished off and cleaned from any damage incurred. the edges have to be ground also because the metal flow has made them wider. This makes the outer devices such as letters and dates actually touch and wrap up the rim imprint. The devices also become wider (Thicker) from the stretching. If you compare the size of the 1968 bust to a later 70's cent you will see the size difference. Report this Post to the Staff
