The reverse of this 1975 Lincoln was counterstamped with a &quot;Washington&#039;s Headquarters&quot; scene by someone. The letters and design are raised from a flattened field. The seller didn&#039;t know anything about it so I did a little research. George Washington and the army wintered at Morristown, NJ from December, 1779 until June, 1780. Today the site is a National Historic Park, and is open to visitors and tour groups who can visit their museum and visitor center. There are a lot of historic landmarks to see and learn about.</p><p>As you can see, the stamp covered the entire reverse of the coin and only shows small flattened areas where the rim used to be. The obverse design is a little distorted due to the strike on the reverse but it&#039;s still all readable. I would think these were either sold or given as souvenirs at the park, but I&#039;m only guessing. In any case, I thought it was unusual and worth posting. Thanks for looking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
