@Heomy, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like there is a combination of rim dings (e.g. between the R and U of TRUST) and wear that has brought the inscription at least partly into the rim. Also, depending on whether or not the rev shows a similar offset in the margin spacing, the obv die might have been very slightly misaligned. I wouldn't think that this cent is worth more than face value.

A lot of cents from the 60's display this. In my opinion the ones from 1968 are the worst. There was a mistake made in the design that caused this. These cents bring no premium and for the most part are worth only face value.

Not a mistake with the design. The master hub was used for many years and it was starting to spread. Thus the devices were wider than the die circumference. The rim trough was blending with part of the devices. The 1969 year brought about a new master hub. 1968 was the last year this master hub was used. When you oompare with side by side, you can see the differences on the 1969 cents.
