Upon further research, it appears pyrbob's die is NOT 1968. I say this because 1968 dies have no taper in the shank, while your die does. These are 1968 s dies:

"I bought a Illinois State Quarter one from a forum member on here a while back. Sorry, no pictures."

I believe I sold you that die. I still have a Tennessee quarter and a Massachusetts quarter die / coin set, if your interested.

The 1968 obverse dies have no taper, reverse dies do.

I went on vacation and forgot all about this post I have some pics of my Colorado die now, with a true "first strike" quarter next to it(the quarter included with the die is one of the first produced with that particular die). This is a reverse die and it is the state side of a quarter- note that all detail has been completely removed. One part has an alphanumeric code and the opposite side has a dot matrix code. There is also a flat notch on the shank of the die for proper positioning in the press.

Yesterday, my P New Mexico die came. Will post pics when I have them. It appears the mint has changed their defacing again, though. This die appears to have had the face lathed off.
