I'm going to assume that this counter stamp commemorates his accomplishments... A sound theory.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 11:52 am Interesting, since Secretariat did not race in 1974. Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 2:10 pm I saw that too. Maybe whoever stamped the coin got their hands on a nice shiny box of 1974 cents and figured why not stamp them for the horse? Mystery for sure.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/12/2024 2:18 pm I was reading Secretariat's Wikipedia biography and saw that he was inducted into the Horse Racing Hall of Fame in 1974. Perhaps it is commemorating that? Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/13/2024 09:46 am Thanks Keith, McShilling and JBuck. Most of the double sided Masonic counter stamps 'cup' the coin. This one it is flat. Example of cupped stamped coin: Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 02/13/2024 10:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
