    I used to collect U.S. silver coins when I was younger but haven't done it in quite a while so i'm out of the loop. I have recently stumbled across a penny that has the outline of the united states stamped over the face of it. Is this an error or did they do that for a certain period of time?. If this is an error what would it be worth if its in fair condition? I need the help of some of you who know "a lot" more about coins than myself. Any input would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

    it sounds like a counterstamped coin, pictures would help.

    Welcome to the Forum. As Captainkirk stated that is what it sounds like.
    Picture will help to determine.
