If you look closely at the back of the penny you can see that it was stamped over the memorial with the back of Lincolns head and partial word liberty. The front has a rectangular shapped stamp. Has anyone seen anything like this? I'm just getting started collecting and was wondering if it's worth saving or getting it looked at? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 02/03/2018 7:43 pm @MF, definitely a counter-stamp applied after this coin left the mint. Is there any design or lettering inside the rectangle on the front or is it just flat? Your pic is a little too dark to tell.
