<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1378853, member: 19065&quot;]It&#039;s considered &#039;counter stamped&#039; and such coins can and are collected,&nbsp; though these coins, of modern marketed creation and available in vast&nbsp; quantities tend not to command a premium from collectors. Some coin&nbsp; collectors who don&#039;t collect or know much about counter stamped coins&nbsp; easily dismiss such coins as damaged. While these were marketed as&nbsp; collectibles and that usually prevents something from being widely&nbsp; appreciated as a collectible by a body of collectors, people can and do&nbsp; collect them. While these are not currently highly valued in the same&nbsp; way as chop-marked coins or store advertising stamps on 19th century US&nbsp; coins for example, they do have a place among counter stamped&nbsp; collecting, exumonia and such kinds of collecting in much the same way&nbsp; as elongated cents are produced as low cost novelty and collected for&nbsp; enjoyment. No, it&#039;s not going to be a numismatic treasure but that&nbsp; doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s useless, worthless nor fun to collect for it&#039;s oddity&nbsp; to you or novelty.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
