CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 07:45 am Some coins you get and/or collect are just novelties like the counter stamped one you have here. They are fun and may not be in the best condition but how you obtained it and the memory that goes with it is priceless. I have a couple myself :) Report this Post to the Staff

It was a privately made item and anyone can make more of them. If you round up a group of them and examine the Kennedy punch you will find that they are from multiple punches already. What's one more? Report this Post to the Staff

bmar Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 11:24 pm I can remember those being advertised in the back of magazines. If I remember right, you could send a quarter or so and they would send you one. I can remember taping a quarter to a cereal box cutout and mailing it off for various items. A postage stamp was only a nickle back then. Edited by bmar 04/20/2017 11:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
