<p>[QUOTE="laz, post: 3327, member: 53"]Actually the coin is a novelty piece similar the the "Kennedy looks at Lincoln" Cent. Your coin may have been either specially struck in Silver or Silver plated. Most were just regular Cents. Over the years many different counterstamps have been used. There was a set of the 50 States, depicting each State in outline.There was the profile of Kennedy, Lincoln smoking a pipe,ect. Since these coins are altered they have no true numismatic value. Any value would be simply as a novelty piece. These fall into a broad catagory called "exonumia" or coin related material like medals and tokens. ~ Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
