Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 5:29 pm Well it is red-colored, but not in the way that folks mean when they say a copper coin is red. That only applies to minimally circulated coins that have not yet begun to tone.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19115 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 5:42 pm The L touching the rim is very common with the '68 D--not an error, it's a matter of a worn die and a weak design. Looks like the 8 took a hit in circulation long ago. Edited by ijn1944 01/19/2025 5:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2280 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 7:43 pm Common coin, circulated condition, no errors. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 01/19/2025 7:50 pm It looks more red/brown - leaning towards brown. The L on the rim was typical of these years, and the 8 looks like a hit.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 01/20/2025 1:02 pm Yeah it's just a circulated "Brown" in color '68 cent. Find a MS-65 version of this coin and make a comparison! Report this Post to the Staff
