I thought it was a nativity scene! Guess it looks more like the signing after all.

It is a crude reproduction of John Trumbull's Declaration of Independence

I thought about both. I thought declaration of independence first then saw what looked like a depiction of Mary beside the desk and thought maybe it was some sort of nativity scene. I even thought maybe the image above their heads was the angels looking down. then I saw that Joseph was sitting in a chair then thought it couldn't be that

I collect them! I have a few dozen but I have never seen this one! If anyone has any, I'm always in the market for interesting ones....hint, hint.

Awesome find. Congratulations!

Not a chance Captainkurt, unless I find another one.
I do have multiple JFK's and an extra Jimmy Carter.

It looks like the signing of Magna Carta to me, but the DoI would make more sense.

Here's a couple of counterstrikes that I pulled from rolls this week. The Kennedy with his name written out is a new variety for me and the "Support Ecology" is also new to me.

I have Three Cents that have an imprint of a face that looks almost exactly like the ones of Kennedy above, as well as a cent with an imprint of the shape of Oklahoma with "OK" inside of the state's outline. Just wondering, does anyone know what I should do with the three nickels and one quarter that are from proof sets that I found in circulation? They all have the mint mark of S, so I know they're from a proof set.
