Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 12:13 am The heavy look on the 1968 was the design for that year. You also have a very late die state where die flow has expanded outwards. This stretches the elements and makes the size bigger of the die, which is then milled down to fit the holder taking the outer edges away. Why the letters seem to disappear.
