<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 3166521, member: 1101&quot;]I am not able to open the above links at work, but there should be some background on this counterstamp out there on the Internet (maybe even here in an old thread). </p><p><br /></p><p>This appears to be the same counterstamp that was used on various state quarters about 15 years ago (give or take a couple years). As I recall, the punch was made by a gentleman in a southern state (maybe one of the Carolinas?) who was making a political statement. He was not pro-Confederacy, but pro-Southern traditions (I am not trying to be controversial, just repeating what I recall reading). At some point he passed away and his widow lent the punch to a few others.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a couple of these on quarters somewhere, but have never heard of it on cents.&nbsp; If you were to put it on eBay and accurately describe it (&quot;counterstamp&quot;) I am sure it would sell for at least a few dollars. That might not sound like much, but it is worth hundreds of times its face value which is not a bad return on your investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is definitely in a different class than your typical novelty cent as it was made to circulate, made with a political message in mind, and is scarce or rare on this denomination.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
