commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 09/17/2025 8:28 pm @hankp1: For the sake of full clarity, the cent you've presented features counterstamps that were added outside of the US Mint, as was the plating. The original Lincoln Cent was a US Mint product, but the "commemorative" aspects of the coin were added outside of the Mint. As others have noted, there are collectors of this sort of thing, but your coin's general condition would likely not command a strong premium among such collectors.
