*** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***This one came in a small yellow envelope marked "Scenic Engraved Cent" from Philadelphia. I believe they were done by the Littleton Company but cannot confirm at this time.

Show us the envelope, with dimensions, and we can probably confirm or deny your Littleton supposition.

Very nice!  Looks like a gift shop item. Maybe given out free with purchase.

Not Littleton for sure, but wouldn't put it past them.

I like it! I can definitely see the appeal of a Whitman or Dansco with blank cent pages filled with counterstamps. I only have come across 1 or 2 while CRH (which I don't do very often) so don't have enough to justify an album at this point.

Here's another fun one. Any idea how many varieties of the Liberty Bell design are out there? Just curious because I just found one with a bell through LIBERTY and a profile of the USA over the date of 1975D. The Liberty Bell on mine has the crack through the bell lines about 1/4 of the way from the left.

There are three Liberty Bell counterstamps out there that I'm aware of. I'm on my phone so no easy pictures for me to grab at the moment.
