Welcome to CT derylc! Sorry I'm no help, but I am wondering if it was some kind of a non-mint set? There are a lot of companies that make coins to sell to the non-coin collecting public. Was this something you got in change?

 

yes...just found in my change pile

 

Yes, it's quite common, someone(who know) has counterstamped these with every state. Do a search here and see how many threads you come up with.

 

Plenty of 'em out there... and discussed here many times in the past. Here's just one thread:

thanks...i knew i came to the right source for an answer

 

Hi derylc, I found the same penny with an OHIO stamp in it. I also found-and then found out where to buy some more- of the 1974 penny with Kennedy stamped on it. It was part of a set of Kennedys and Lincolns that were put out with a paper of all the similarities of their terms of office. It's very interesting even though I don't know how legal it is to deface U.S. coins.

 

:welcome: to CT! Sorry, but it has no extra value. Someone probably put that on there. I've never seen that, though!

 

Hi Alex491, I totally agree with you on not having any extra value. In fact it takes away from any value the coin could have had before being punched.

 

It is cool to keep, though

 

I have a 1977 penny with Kennedys head on it and a 1976 with a PA on it.

 

Counter stamp.....a keystone would be more appropriate......

 

I have a 1964 that my uncle Bill gave me before he passed back in the 60 ' s it's Lincoln cent with Kennedy facing him. If I recall that was when these first showed up in the numismatics market place. The link of course both assassinations .

 

Yes I have a 1976 penny with a Ohio stamp
