chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/05/2019 05:28 am How cool. It's called a counterstamp. There is a very popular one from the 1960s on a Lincoln Cent with Kennedy facing Lincoln. Someone made a Lincoln stamp and did the opposite in this case. Never seen it before. Nice find! Here is the LMC with Kennedy stamped on it... Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff
