dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 07:37 am it is called "counter stamped". someone has added the state image. there are several counterstamped versions. I have only found a couple of different ones - but there are many. there are some people who actively collect them. novelty value only. (but a fun find).. Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 7:39 pm This cent was most likely in a set along with the 49 other states sold by a company to anyone willing to buy it. I have a/the penny board and a bag of these cents but have never bothered to put the two together. -MV Report this Post to the Staff
