Help Identifying Stamp On 1976 Penny

I split your post to its own thread. Your LMC shows the outline of the state of Nevada. There was an entire series of the States.

The series is normally all stamped on cents from 1976. It was a U.S. bicentennial gimmick/novelty. Might be worth a few cents to someone trying to collect them all, or someone from Nevada.

Correction, the dates of these stamped cents vary.

to CCF. It is called a counterstamp. It happens on many different dates and mint marks,with many different types of counterstamps. Adds little if any premium because it is considered damage.

These are created by someone wanting to make money on selling a full set. They would buy the set of punches, add them to a roll of cents, then sell these. Probably several different sellers did this. Thus why would a company make these punches? The rubes would by these, then like the HSN plated quarters, spent them later. Figuring they were into a good thing when buying then, told later they were not collectible, cut their losses, and put them back into circulation. Many examples through the years of people listening to the sellers, "oh these will be collectible and be worth a lot of money. Avon bottles, Beanie Babies, States quarters with the platinum and gold plating, and the lists goes on. Just another way to create something to sell, that the buyer gets burned in the end.

Nice cent counterstamp!
