Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7510 Posts	Posted 11/12/2024 2:48 pm Just making an interesting observation, noticed the Tail feathers on coin A more enhanced and different than several others I compared to, could it be re-engraved? I have a few 1968 proof sets and all look similar to coin B except the one in question ( coin A ) What is your thought? Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6499 Posts	Posted 11/12/2024 3:26 pm There is certainly a lot that went on with 1968-S reverse proof varieties. At least four different reverse styles were used. http://www.varietyvista.com/09b%20W...arieties.htm Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6499 Posts	Posted 11/12/2024 3:42 pm I think you are onto something, although I cannot say if it's unexpected. Most of the tail feathers in the PCGS image catalog have faint veins or none at all. However, there are some that seem to show a similar pattern to the one you identified. Perhaps someone like Willburton or Dearborn will know more. Dr. Wiles would probably know for certain, as he studies re-engraved die for various denominations. https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin.../images/6000 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39376841 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/42864484 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/24268734 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45002649 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45002651 https://www.pcgs.com/cert/39046976 Edited by Brandmeister 11/12/2024 3:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95801 Posts	Posted 11/12/2024 8:40 pm It would appear that the tail feathers were re-engraved to me. I'm trying to remember which years that happened..
