Here is another 68 Shield I just obtained. It has a very nice and clear RPD south and some cracks. I can't understand why the rim denticles, especially on the reverse, is unevenly worn. Could it have been struck off center? Thanks    |

Very nice RPD! Maybe circulation wear worn down rim denticles?

Maybe a slightly misaligned die, but nothing too out of the ordinary in terms of the strike. This RPD is listed as S2-3005 in Spindel's Shield nickel Viewer, it is also noted there to possibly cross to F-104. |

The dentil phenomenon is common across many types. The entire coin will not be perfectly centered and struck evenly everytime.

A nice example. I like the circulation cameo, too.  |

Nice one. This is the rarer IIb reverse (Fletcher) or reverse of 1868, said to be only 10% of the mintage. This is easily identified by the top star pointing to the "S" in states. It points to the "E" in the reverse of 1867 http://www.shieldnickels.net/hubs/hubs.html |

All of the IIb reverses came from the same hub that gradually deteriorated during use. The IIb reverses com with anywhere from 0 to 6 broken letters. We know the all came from the same hub because the letters break in a specific sequence
