chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 05:33 am Two new cities... First is Ludington, Michigan. This was definitely not stamped but I believe laser etched. I spent many a long weekend at a friend's cabin in Pentwater just south of Ludington as a kid and teenager. Second is Colorado Springs, Colorado counter stamp... Other cities with their names counter stamped on LMCs... Looks like the Littleton sales rep stayed predominantly on the east coast.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10034 Posts	Posted 05/02/2025 07:47 am I know a punch can cost somewhere around 340.00 for a simple one like that triangle. Have to wonder why anyone would bother with something so nondescript? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 05/03/2025 1:59 pm Quote: Have to wonder why anyone would bother with something so nondescript? Thought the same thing Earle. My guess is that it was a punch for some other use that someone decided to punch a cent with. Here's a great example... This punch was used to punch the handle of some tool. I found the tool on ebay. Can't put my finger on neither the tool or the saved picture at the moment. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
