nicholasdivitto New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 11:35 am Hi! I'm new here, but I've been collecting coins for about a year or two. Anyway, I was going through some change I had in my pocket and I found this 2000 Penny. It appears to have the shape of mississipi stamped onto it with MS inside the shape. Whats up with that? It looks really well done to be stamped on by some yoyo. There seems to be no press marks or swelled edges on the shape that would suggest any post die tampering at all... Take a look, I would love some explanation. I've never seen this before, and Google didn't tell me anything. Report this Post to the Staff

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 05/24/2013 12:01 pm It's called a counter-stamped penny. I believe it is done by a private company and they create the entire set of states among other things. I have found states, Kennedy's portrait, the moon landing, people's names, etc. Not worth much, if anything, above one cent, but some people collect them. The experts here can tell you more.
