I know of three other counterstamps like this: Ronald Reagan  Gerald Ford  and Jimmy Carter  This mystery person sure doesn't look like an ex president.  Thanks in advance for any ideas! |

A bigger pic would help, but maybe MLK?

I was thinking MLK, as well. It makes little sense
being on a pc; more than a decade after his death.

I have no idea who is on the mystery one, but the second one (1978) doesn't look like Ford to me. I don't remember Ford having that much hair! I think it's a different Carter  Edited by Tootallious

My first thought was MLK.

I did some Yahooing and digging. I found a Yahoo image that was titled "Martin Luther King".
Thank you everyone for your opinions. Now that I know who it is, the hunt is on to find one to add to my collection.
Thanks again!!

...also Tootallious and Crazyb0... I kind of agree that the second one is a different Jimmy Carter. Looking at the two coins side by side helps. Bummed that I don't have a Ford though.  Edited by chafemasterj
