After a little research I found only one person who claimed to have made thousands of these and released them into circulation. The person using the name counterstamp claimed to have done it to show their support for the National Rifle Association. This was back in 2009 and the RealCent forum thread shows little new information about the stamper who is no longer a member.
As for value it has no extra value. Actually it may be rejected for use in sales or monetary transaction since the coin has been altered, that still does not mean that altering a coin is illegal it is just annoying. Luckily it is small and most people will not notice or care.
Here's the stats for this coin...
Type/Country: 5 Cents / United States
Year: 1976-D
Metal: 75% copper 25% nickel
Mintage: 563,964,147
Value: $0.05 in Damaged

ReplyDeleteI have one nickle that has a mint flaw very significant on the front. I've put it away and kinda' just forgot about it. My friend a more serious collector than myself (I'm "serious" just....he knows more. I limit to low-end collecting for most part) gave me name for it but...now I would have to look back to know. The nickle is "very fine" condition. My friend called it a good find but won't venture a VALUE range.
ReplyDeleteMaybe with time I can place a photo.
