I've seen a lot of counterstamped Lincolns with either a pipe or a cigar. Sometimes there are two puffs of smoke, sometimes three. But I think this is the first time I've seen a pipe with no smoke puffs at all. It was in a blue album in the 1962 spot and saw it while skimming some of those.

Cool find. Yeah. When there are no puffs of smoke it's easy to overlook the pipe.

That's the funniest one I've seen. I suppose you could add the smoke and call it your own. LOL

Kind of looks like Lincoln's statue on the reverse has smoke coming from it. Maybe that's where the puffs are? LOL
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Thanks folks! I just kind of went "huh?" when I saw it. I think Littleton put out the ones with the puffs, maybe someone else trying to get in on the market but only could find a pipe stamp.
