I need help identifying a counter stamp on a Lincoln Cent I just pulled from a roll.

It seems to be weekly stamped on the right side of the design making it a little difficult.

I have a guess but as one forum member posted in the past that thread titles and text "lead" the reader into a certain direction into agreeing with the poster so I won't mention that it looks like John Kerry

Peanuts Carter just look at the SMILE, plus 1977 was his first year in office.

At first I thought maybe it was the Fonz or someone like that but then I thought that it might be Carter but sure doesn't look like him to me.

I wasn't sure if it being dated 1977 had any relevance or not as I don't know when it was stamped.

If it is Jimmy Carter it is a BAD depiction.
The eyes are off. But that IS his smile.

At first I thought Billy Carter but now I think it's Jimmy Carter.

My first thought was RFK.

Bust Jimmy makes more sense.

Looks to me more like Robert Kennedy than Carter, but given the date of the coin I guess it is more likely Carter.

I remember in the 1960s you could send away for a "Kennedy looks at Lincoln" cent. It just had a stamp of JFK in profile looking left.

This one sold for 99 cents: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carter-Penn...047675.l2557

To quote the auction: ""Carter Penny," 1977-D Lincoln Cent with Jimmy Carter's toothy countenance !!
Original purchase price in 1977 was $25.00 !!
Now, very, very rare !"
