I've included a full picture of the obverse and reverse. On the Obverse, the spacing between Liberty and In God We Trust from the rim is very close yet it doesn't look like it was struck off center to me. Three pictures of Obverse posted On the Reverse, I don't see the same phenomenon yet the S on States and E in E Pluribus, seem to had crude in the die and were not sharply struck. Two photos attached, one has the 1968 coin on the bottom and a 1969S coin on the top for comparison. Thanks for your help in figuring this out! Report this Post to the Staff
