KiKi7679 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 5:57 pm There is a Liberty Bell above the word Liberty and USA above the date stamped on this cent. Can anyone help with why and who may have "personalized" this coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Colin's Coins Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 6:05 pm I have the exact same thing as you except it is on a 1976-D. I think it was minted by the mint as a bicentennial coin, but I don't know why yours is a 1975. Report this Post to the Staff

This is PMD, some one courter struck this on to the coin. This is not mint made. It's 1975 because thats when the mint started to make '76 bi-centennial cents. Nice couter struck coin Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/24/2015 6:57 pm They are altered coins not for the mint. I see no premium for them unless someone is collecting them. Probably not as you found them in change. I found one once. {img]https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ama_Cent.jpg[/img] Looks like someone make them for States also. Report this Post to the Staff
KiKi7679 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/25/2015 11:06 pm I did some research and it seems these are considered novelties and stamped after leaving the mint. The coins with the liberty Bell and map of USA were done so in both years of 75 and 76 in honor of former Presidents Lincoln and JFK who both share quite a list of ironic coincidences. Much Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
