Wouldn't it be about the same as cents being stamped with a state shape? I've seen both.

I have seen the coin you speak of before. It is called a Counter Stamp. Some people collect them. You may get a dollar or 2 for it on ebay depending upon the coin and if the right buyer comes across. |

I have seen this coin before on this site. You can use the search function and maybe you will find it. Search "counter stamp" and maybe "Lincoln pipe"
There is also a "Post your Counterstamp Thread" and there are many pics posted of alot of different counterstamp that members have found.
Happy hunting

In the 60's , in the back of comic books, Lincoln cents with the pipe and Kennedy counter stamps were advertised along with the likes of X-ray glasses etc. I found my first Lincoln Cent with a Kennedy counter stamp last week in change, ironically. |

That is one of the "nicer" or shall I say "newer" counter stamps I have seen. Wonder if it was stamped long ago and someone had kept it or if it was recently stamped.

Yes, I will definitely keep it. I think it was a neat curiosity and also it is in fine condition for its age!!

I smile every time I see it. That in itself is worth much.
