So here's a fun game, let's play count the counterstamps. I went about cross-eyed trying but I came up with six punches on the obverse and six punches on the reverse. Not really sure if that's right or not at this point. Anyway, someone was really having fun with the punch that day.

Thanks E&V! But I didn't really find this one. There was a lot of 7 masonic counterstamped Lincolns up on ebay and when I saw this one in the mix I just figured to go for it. Got the lot for ten bucks and just put them all in my counterstamp collection, which already has too many masonics but well the more the merrier.

Wow that's certainly a looker. Maybe it was someone's test subject for the counterstamps. A rare prototype coin, 1 of 1!
