It is neat. I would keep it for that reason alone. its only a penny. plus its copper so its metal content is more than face. thats another reason id keep it.

He was an Italian actor who created a figure and lived the life as if he was a Native American. His parents were Italian immigrants, he was an American born in Louisiana. But you are right about him creating the fictional American Indian character. |

Conder101,
His parents were Italian making him Italian and since he was an actor, I'm calling him an Italian actor. I know he wasn't born in Italy/Cicily. I can understand the confusion with my comment. Yes, Joe Pesci is an American actor but I'd still say he's an Italian actor. No harm intended.
And as for the penny, I'd keep it too. It is very cool and brings back a lot of memories.

mds308.. so how many generations have to be born in the US before they can be called an American Actor?
Using your logic, there are no "American" actors, as everyone has ancestry from another country.

I have always figured that if you are able to trace your ancestry to a particular country, that you would. I consider myself Norwegian for instance.. even though I am the 3rd generation born in Minnesota. So this individual could be called Italian or American and both would be right. Nice counter stamp! I just found my second Kennedy counter stamped penny the other day, bringing my total counter stamped Lincoln count to 6. |

Very nice counter stamped coin. I would keep it just as a curiosity.

They can be found in circulation or purchased for pennies apiece. I have a few hundred different and probably not even $10 in total cost. I also collect 1960 nickels with die chips above the date and motto. It makes a very interesting collection and there are endless hours of work tied up in it but it will probably never be worth anything. The first earth day was 1970 if memory serves. Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.
