This one has been up for debate at my house. My kids think it looks like an octopus, my wife thinks a bush and I vote Peacock. Anyone else have any ideas?

If not a peacock, how about Medusa?

Omg. Another possibility?

I just got a new cell phone. I'll post a better picture tomorrow without the glare.

I guess the glare is still there but not as bad.

Edit: @Petespockets55 Here are some slightly better pictures of the stamp. I don't know, I think the clearer pictures just make it even more confusing.

I really had no idea yesterday, but now all I can see is Medusa.

Illinois Sesquicentennial Foil Penny. I call these next two 'Foil Pennies' because I'm not sure what else to call them. The reverse has a thin foil cap crimped over it with the image stamped just in the foil. If you look closely at the obverse you can see the slight overhang the thickness of the foil around the perimeter. If anyone has any information about this type of commemorative coin please share.

I have never seen the foil penny before.

Very interesting pair!

The unknown counter stamp looks like a Christmas tree with a doll below and various globe-like ornaments around it.
