[QUOTE="LaCointessa, post: 3360457, member: 87186"]Good morning. This seemed so strange to me that I went hunting around and I see that bicentennial pennies dated 1975 with Denver mint mark as well as 1976 cents may have been issued as bicentennial commemoratives bearing a liberty bell on the obverse in the opposite corner from where the date is? I do not know whether these were made up by people outside the US Mint or not. But I bet if you searched the Internet, you could find out.
