I found this in a bank wrapped roll. I've found many different counterstamped cents; JFK, Jimmy Carter, state outlines, Liberty Bells, etc... but I'm not sure what it is supposed to be. Anybody?    |

It is a crude reproduction of John Trumbull's Declaration of Independence most famously depicted on the reverse of the 1976 series $2 bill.

I thought it was a nativity scene! Guess it looks more like the signing after all.

thought it was a nativity scene! I thought about both. I thought declaration of independence first then saw what looked like a depiction of Mary beside the desk and thought maybe it was some sort of nativity scene. I even thought maybe the image above their heads was the angels looking down. then I saw that Joseph was sitting in a chair then thought it couldn't be that |

It looks like the signing of Magna Carta to me, but the DoI would make more sense.
