Found it in a bag of cents a day or so ago and I am not sure what it is. Looks kinda like an oil rig and pipeline? Thanks! 1980 Lincoln Memorial cent counterstamp Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 03/04/2022 9:32 pm Well I'm interested to hear @chafe's thoughts, but I'll throw out a guess of an oil Derrick and dog sled (maybe an Alaska-theme). Looks like the edge of the stamp affected the coin's rim too. Added: looks like I was close. When a similar cent was posted over on the counterstamps thread, it was described as an oil Derrick and pipeline. Here is a link to a pic of that coin. The identification is on the following page. http://goccf.com/t/126486&whichpage=25#2318907 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
