jbuck Moderator United States 191078 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 11:40 am Yes, that is what I was pointing out! You said "can't spell "LUCKY" and I added "or LOUisville, KY" That is, they can spell neither, if the latter was their intention.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10051 Posts	Posted 04/27/2023 5:44 pm The one lizard made me think maybe Giecko should make counterstamped pennies and put them into circulation for advertising Weird about the misspelling of lucky. Back then the eduction level was a lot higher for the basics. Maybe just a slip up on using the wrong punch? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

L is for look, the way you look at life. U is for unite, you bring people together. O is for optimistic, always looking at the bright side! K is for kindness, you always show. Y is for young, the years never show! Get your Luoky penny now...makes a great gift! No, thats not a real promotion but I just turned a misspelled penny into tree fiddy Great thread as always Edited by datadragon 04/27/2023 7:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 7:41 pm It was part of (eventually) a 7 penny set. Check out page 2 I believe of my thread here and there is a nice write up and history of each of the missions.

mdbland New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 8:19 pm Very nice set having all of the moon pennies I notice the pic of yours is D for Denver and mine is blank for Philly do you have any info on the pennies like who made them are they rare? How many are out there Are they stamped by a machine or by hand I'm new to researching info on this penny I always thought and was led to believe it came from the mint this way but that is obviously wrong Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 9:43 pm They were stamped (by machine I believe) by the Littleton Stamp and Coin Co. I've been on the lookout for the type of information you are asking about as well but have found nothing as of yet. I know the counter stamp you have was sold individually as well as in different sets. I'll see if I can take pictures of the different sets I've ran across this weekend.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/28/2023 10:47 pm Having a fine day and not a bit harsh, thanks. Littleton is the scourge of the coin collecting hobby, selling junk plated coins, worthless counterstamps and cheesy "historic sets" to unsuspecting novice collectors for decades.
