Klars New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 9:21 pm I found this interesting 1981 Jefferson nickel that looks like someone may have imprinted Jesus underneath the e pluribus unum on the back of the coin. I am sure it's not a misprint or error but I am curious to know if that drops or raises the price value. And I am also curious to know who or why someone would imprint it? And how would they do it? I'm new to coin collecting so I don't have a wide range of knowledge in this subject but I am very open to learn all I can! So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hondo Boguss Pillar of the Community United States 2880 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 9:36 pm to the Forum, Klars! This is an example of a counterstamped coin. This type of mutilation has been inflicted on coins ever since they were invented. There's no numismatic premium attached to this. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 28410 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 9:56 pm @klar, first welcome to CCF. Second, while there is no added value to a maverick counterstamp like this, it is still a fun find.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 2002 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 10:41 pm Some collect them, some say it is damage. Anyone can make them with a punch and a hammer. Still it is cool to find them. Report this Post to the Staff
Klars New Member Topic Starter United States 2 Posts	Posted 06/03/2023 10:43 pm Thank you all for the input. Me and my nephew were debating if it was stamped or carved. I thought it looked too composed to be craved but what do I know maybe he's right, lol. But yes, it is definitely a great find and I shall add it to my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 4331 Posts	Posted 06/04/2023 5:34 pm to the CCF and Looks like it was stamped. Maybe not hard enough to leave bumps on the obverse. Some counterstamps have a premium to counterstamp collectors. Report this Post to the Staff
