Lincoln and Kennedy Cent - Counterstamp

Hi all,
I always wanted one of these!
It's a counterstamped 1967 Cent. It has an image of Kennedy facing Lincoln.
Also looks like a Misaligned Die Strike.
The package states that it came from the Littleton Coin Co.
$3.00 at my local flea market.
Enjoy

The only other counterstamp coin I have is this Cent I found Metal Detecting.
It has a Playboy Bunny!

 

I save all my counter stamps. I love them.Just found Abe smoking a pipe this week.

 

@Amos 811
Ha.. Love it!

 

is that a die crack @ 8oclock on the Kennedy?

 

These are fun. I saved a few over the years. The price was right and if it had Lincoln on it, it went in my collection.

 

Littleton should have titled their coin "The Lincoln - Kennedy Debate".

When Maynard Sundman owned Littleton he was big into these and the gold plated Lincolns as a cheap way of enticing new customers to order approval coin packages. Not so much so with his son David. He tends to make special offers with discounted B.U. coin sets like the State Quarters at face value and free gifts of the 2009 Lincoln Cents.

 

Looks like a lamination crack with some ooze.You think he bought it without knowing it had an error.

 

i was thinking die crack with gunk build up....

 

I like these stamped cents , I remember them from ages ago. I got a Boy Scout symbal, Alaska, book, USA& bell, and the Kennedy.

 

I find counterstamped cents a lot in roll searching. Kennedy and Masonic are the most popular, the states were done about the time of the bicentennial etc - I probably have 40 of the states now. Favourite one though is on a nickel, "No more war" on a 2003 nickel. Also found the "Ford" logo stamped on a Buffalo nickel.

One common thing with most aside from the Masonic is that they will usually have a bit of glue and paper on the reverse from where they were glued to paper, a vending machine ring like kids used to wear etc.

 

Glad to hear you finally got one. The web link below has numerous novelty coins for sale. Check it out. Several web sites allow you to design your own but usually you must in bulk.
