HOSS5150 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 9:30 pm My girlfriend and I are new to this. She picked up the coin hobby from her late father. We have alot of old coins 1920s and newer. We are trying to figure out if we are doing OK. I will start with this 1976 Lincoln Penny with no mint mark, liberty bell and usa map on it. Please let us know if we are on the rite track. Thank you!

Your cent was minted at the Philly mint that's why it has no mint mark and was counter stamped after it left the mint. To most numismatic collectors it is now considered PMD. People do collect counter stamped coins though. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 11/05/2022 09:02 am this is a counter stamped cent. Some people collect them, others just consider them damaged. Officially they are post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff

Counterstamping is considered PMD by collectors although some people collect them as they find them interesting. Lincoln Cent Lover!
