i have come across a pennie I dont recognize. 1976D Lincoln + Memorial, but I do not know the significance of the liberty bell and the country outline with U.S.A. in the middle. The back side looks normal. Also it is not standard copper color it is the silver color   Thank you to anyone who can help. |

A counter-stamped Lincoln Cent. There's quite a variety of counter-stamps out there. Done after the coin left the mint. |

 to the Forum! This is a novelty counterstamped Lincoln Cent to commemorate the Bicentennial of the US. Chafemaster has an extensive thread on counterstamped Lincolns. http://goccf.com/t/303507As for the color, it was probably plated with silver by the same people who applied the counterstamp. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
