Probably nothing special, ive looked online and cant find anything about it so i think its probably only worth 1cent lol, its a 1974 penny and on the right side of his face it has a liberty bell stamped on it? probably junk, but ive been wondering thanks.
Howdy wildwill532 - Welcome to the Forum !! You've called it correctly They were made by various companies over the years - they take an ordinary cent and countermark it. Then sell it to tourists and the like. Some folks did collect sets of them - but they have no value.
Well, I admit to recenlty starting a small collection of these, and I buy them, usualy in bulk, when I see a bunch at the right price (cheap). I shunned them in th old days as senseless novelties, but some of them have sort of grown on me. Some of them are nice little reminders of various historical events. I sometimes wonder if the days will come when someone will catalogue them and identify them by maker. (Same goes for elongated coins. They seem to be enjoying a resurgence here in Europe. I just sqiushed three 10 cent coins - 3 different designs, and one was double sided - in Berlin at the base of the famous TV tower in the old Eatstern part.) Anyway, one lone stamped cent (currently) has no real value. When I buy them in bulk, if some are less than perfect, I spend those.
