Just a novelty item commemorating our independence - counter stamped and plated.

Only to those that can't appreciate a unique collectible.
It's still worth 1 cent.

I like it. Now the question is... was it plated then counterstamped or the other way around?

Also, is that a glue spot on the reverse?

Double C/s. Neat. I bet you could find many dozens of tokens made for our 200.

Lol. Thank You jbuck

Someone asked about the glue on the back. Yes, the vast majority of these were originally on a card with historical facts on it.... Now. I'm sure I've got one around here someplace...
