Mojani New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 7:35 pm My Grandpa gave me a bunch of Wheat penny's, and I don't know why there is a B stamped on the back of this one. Does anyone know where it came from? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

fnd1234 Valued Member United States 142 Posts	Posted 07/14/2015 8:54 pm It looks like a counter stamp. It's when someone stamps on a letter, symbol, etc onto coins. Sometimes it's for a good reason, sometimes it's for the fun of it. Great find though! I still have yet to find one myself. There are lots of members on here that collect them. I'm sure they will show you some other great examples and maybe one of them might know what the stamp means! Who knows? :) Report this Post to the Staff

Rob Mester New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 10:23 pm Perhaps it's just coincidence but I had also came across a 1903 Wheat penny with a "B" stamped on it, only difference is that it's on the Heads side. I'm not sure what it means and it's probably random and doesn't mean anything at all... Report this Post to the Staff
batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 10:52 pm I would not call that a Wheat cent. It's generally known as an Indian Head cent. Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 11/04/2015 11:35 pm There are so many counterstamps that it is highley unlikely they are related. Some people collect counterstamped coins I personally don't but there is a small market for it for sure. I will keep them if I find them but I won't particularly hunt for them and certainly wont pay for them Report this Post to the Staff
