We would need to see the back but it is within mint tolerance. They become collectible when the Date, Motto or Libery is missing because the dies didn't strike it correctly. 2- Counterstamp- There are many many different types. Google image "Counterstamp Coins" and you will see a lot. They are more of a novelty. Report this Post to the Staff

You will be able to tell by the reverse: if it too is not centered then you would probably have an off-center cent, if it is normal it is a misaligned die which is very common. The second one has a hole drilled in it along with a Freemason counter-stamp. I hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
runlike New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 04/02/2014 8:19 pm Where can I procure said Freemason counter-stamp? Lol. That's awesome! And thanks for the info on the first one too, I just noticed the edge was a little thicker on one side than the other. And in fact the other side is normal so a misaligned die it is! Thanks again! This site has helped me a lot in my first couple weeks of obsessively sifting through change! It all started cause I wanted to look through this stack for wheaties! Report this Post to the Staff
