It is a map of, and the initails of Vermont. Yes, someone is just trying to be funny. Steve  |

I'm sure there are people who collect these. A few weeks ago someone posted a Lincoln Cent with an engraving of Kennedy on the obverse. |

It would be neat to have a collection featuring one from each state.

Yeah, you could make a map of the US and fill the holes like the State Quarters. I have often thought of this. I have several with different states and wondered if there were more. Never seen Vermont though. Neat! Michael |

Is there a book that lists these stampings? I have a South Dakota, a Nebraska and one that commemorates the moon landing.

Back in the 70's you could get all 50 states on cents the Kennedy mint sells them even today, just go to there web site.

Any ideas on how people put these engravings on the coins?  |

They are counterstamps. Little punches like leather punches and a mallet. They are not engraved, or cut, into the coins.
All 50 states are available - been so since the 1960s. Often times they are spent and found like in this case. I have been working on a set of all 50 states from pocket change for over 20 years now. I have 11 states, and VT is not one of them.

I have one with Kennedy on it from change but never seen one in change yet with a state on it. Pretty neat idea. Next will be the movie stars.

These are fairly common novelty coins.

I have a set in a frame I got for christmas one year, of 2005 D Lincoln cents. I think it is called the "Heritage of the United States" set. Still, a neat find.  Phoenix  |

I've got a 1975 with Paul Revere stamped into it in the same spot.
