CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12870 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 4:38 pm Cool, chafemasterj. I like the 2nd one better as it still has some of the original cent devices on it. I assume that's 1920 and not 2020? Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/27/2023 5:41 pm Yes. Thank you CelticKnot. Yes. It's 1920. .and actually as you can see from the reverse it really isn't a pressed cent. It's more of a 'squeezed' cent with a die on both sides of the coin.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/28/2023 11:30 am If I recall, a few weeks ago someone had said that a counter stamp looked like a pheasant. I think this one is if I'm not mistaken. Pheasant pressed LMC.....

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6662 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 09:53 am Are these considered counter stamps? or "Hobo" Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 10:22 am They're not counter stamps, that's for sure. Hobos are 'carved' from an original coin. I believe these are die pressed cents. They are the old precursors to the modern oval rolled souvenir pennies. I just like them. I run across them rarely. The ones I have been showing are from an eBayer that was selling off his collection. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

I think this one is if I'm not mistaken. Pheasant pressed LMC..... Close... A turkey is classified in the same family as pheasants. But your bird has a wattle making it a Tom turkey. Pheasants do not have a wattle. I recognized the silhouette/flight profile (although I admit its a bit stumpy and a tiny bit grouse-like to my eye). My 12 gauge was good at pointing this sight out to me in the wild (as well as same thing from a Ring Neck pheasant). How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/30/2023 1:40 pm Turkey it is! I'm sure most of us know that Thomas Jefferson was a huge supporter of the North American Wild Turkey being our national bird. I just can't picture all of the coinage that features the Bald Eagle having turkeys on them. Edit: Or was it Benjamin Franklin?
