Scooby New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 06/15/2018 5:04 pm Coin roll hunting I came upon this 1975 Lincoln with a weird stamp on it. The rear has no impression but the front...well, see for yourself. Is this anything special? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74624 Posts	Posted 06/15/2018 5:07 pm This isn't an error. This is a state counterstamp. This is technically Post Strike Damage, because it happened after it left the U.S. Mint. Although, it's collectable to those who collect counterstamps. Errers and Varietys.
