Nice, but soon you will have to do an add-on to the house to store all these counter stamps.

Indian Head cent which someone carved out everything in the background. Looks kinda cool if you ask me.

Very interesting carved out IHC. Have to wonder the motivation? Maybe a newbie learning to carve honing their skills? As to the political ones, now you need to find one from Teddy's Bull Moose party  I think I am with other numismatists when we say we can thank him for the following. According to https://www.kiro7.comQuote: Back in December 1904, three years after he took office, Theodore Roosevelt sent a famous letter to Treasury Secretary Leslie Shaw that ushered in a new age of American coinage.
Here's what he said:
I think our coinage is artistically of atrocious hideousness. Would it be possible, without asking permission of Congress, to employ a man like Saint-Gaudens to give us a coinage that would have some beauty?
