It's a neat find. Cointerstamps can exceed the value of the host coin many times over. Google: mel wacks counterstamp. Folks collect these. I like your find!

Nothing special. No value over 5 cents. Spend it and let your LCS get calls.

 to CCF. It is a counterstamped coin that most collectors consider PMD. There are some folks who do collect them. John1  |

I would think there are some coin guys out there who like ron Paul and would pay a premium for a counterstamp like that imo

It's also a historical coin. Value may come out of it in later years?
I think it is a pretty cool find. It's a shame the year on the coin is not 1988, 2008, or 2012.

Interesting and collectible, but no more than face value, unfortunately. I have a few post Mint privately counterstamped coins.

I would like to see the reverse. It is probably flattened in that area opposite the counterstamp. But it would be more creative if it had a different one on the reverse that were done at the same time. It would be a cheap way of advertising.

I'd be a buyer for something like this today at around $2. I'm sure there are others that would pay more. A most appropriate coin for a political ad considering Ron Paul and Jefferson where both "Hard Money" men.

Conder101, It is only illegal if there is an intent to circulate the coin as money. There is really no proof of this and all considered, (Jefferson and Paul both being hard money men), I doubt there ever was such an intent. It looks like a souvenir from a rally. The bottom line is the government would have to show proof of intent. I doubt they could.

Cool, I would have bought a roll if reasonable.
