<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jallengomez, post: 2054960, member: 19748&quot;]These are called counterstamps. Basically someone did this to the cents after they left the mint. Many people collect these and try for a complete set of all the states. I&#039;ve even seen map boards where you can insert the cent into the state it belongs to. It seems that your grandfather must have been one of those who found it an interesting collection. They are not that valuable, but I&#039;ve seen collection of all 50 states sell for $25 bucks or so. Not bad for 50 cents worth of coins. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> What&#039;s priceless though is that you have something that your grandfather was interested in and that he gave them to you. Enjoy that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
