<p>[QUOTE="Legoman1, post: 3212120, member: 98409"]It must have been sold or given out as a novelty from 1975-1976, when coins were being minted for the Bicentennial Celebration. Since pennies, nickels, and dimes did not have a bicentennial reverse, some people counter-stamped them And, as jeffB noted, it might have been plated with nickel, possibly to give it a more interesting color.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
