Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 01/09/2008 10:51 am Both of the above are correct. They really are only worth 1 cent unless you find the right buyer. I watched one on ebay sell for over $20 to some poor schmuck, and it was a commonly found coin (for counterstamped Lincolns) that had been electroplated. Find the right buyer and it's worth more, but there aren't many people who go out of their way to collect these. Report this Post to the Staff

The Nickel one had a football team marked on the reverse. But they way it was rolled left part of the design on both sides. I bought one of several types but gave them to my Grandson.
