Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 11/03/2017 1:59 pm First off looks it like a minor MAD (misaligned die) I say minor because (if I'm correct) it hasn't affected the devices near the edge/rim. The horse and state are from a metal punch, bummer. Can you show a pic of the reverse? As I'm sure that when the more knowledgeable chime in their going to want to see the reverse as well. IMHO, I'd keep it just for the heck of it even though any premium over face value was probably lost due to the stamping of the horse and state.

You will find more examples of them here... http://goccf.com/t/126486 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/03/2017 2:38 pm I'd say we probably get one of those counter stamps reported at least a couple of times every month. Someone might collect them, but they have almost no value. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 11/03/2017 3:28 pm Back in 1976 at the Bicentennial celebration year there were sets made of all 50 States. Truck stops used to sell in gifts shops their States as novelties. Yours looks like the latter. Possibly at a Horse venue ? Coin is a MAD misaligned strike and over pressure at that, plus a MDD or master die doubling(no value) Report this Post to the Staff

I tried to keep it separate from the rest of my money, but ended up losing or spending it. Looking back it was a cool little find. Report this Post to the Staff

Usually sold with a card that listed the astonishing coincidences between Lincoln and Kennedy. http://goccf.com/t/76970#621939 http://goccf.com/t/293990 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
