Lincoldn/Kennedy cents - such silly garbage.

I think the same company offered counterstruck cents with the states on them, and ones with the Apollo moon missions as well.

Again, just garbage "collector" coins.

Wait! The publisher of the collector card forgot to mention that Li ncol n and Ke nnedy BOTH had two letter " n"s in their names!  |

So the question becomes where is the Lincoln-stamped Kennedy half? Or would that actually be illegal? |

The company that put out the Apollo mission counter stamped LMCs was The Littleton Stamp and Coin Company. See page 2 I think in the link in my signature. I know that most of the Kennedy counter stamped cents were done by Littleton but there were several different varieties of that stamp put out. I think that other people were also cashing in on their popularity at the time. Edit: I think garbage is a little harsh Coinfrog.

Very nice, commems! I recall in your article about that counterstamped Stone Mountain commemorative that you cautioned everyone to beware of imitations. I was searching ebay for "counterstamp" and ran across quite a few Stone Mountains, and the asking prices were quite high. Definitely something I would avoid, as these could easily be replicated with readily available punches. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
