I've looked at these under high magnification with the same thought. Turns out they are stamped. Not engraved. You can see the way the stamp forced its way into the copper and displaced it. I think since it says "Scenic Engraved Cent" in quotation marks they are taking some marketing liberties. Sounds better than "Scenic Stamped Cent".

I enjoy seeing your counterstamps.One would think that these were a relatively common find.However in my 60 yrs. of looking at coins in circulation ,I have never seen one cross my hands.

I had recently posted a repousse counterstamp of a Knights of Columbus emblem. Here is that one repeated along with a couple of others I have in my collection.
