Hi I have a possible 1968 S doubled die or at least I'm hoping it is. Can anyone confirm or let me know what this is. Almost looks like the letters are melting.

Not a DDO. That's Machine Doubling.

Machine Doubling, yes. Flat and shelf-like. Good example.

68 was the last year they used old wore out master dies. All of them looked mushy. Find a 69 and compare it to this 68, you'll see a big difference.

Research and study along with, in my case, many years in the hobby. I started in 1971. You can start with reading "all" the posts here on CCF.
