Good Intentions
My uncle purchased a set of these 1975 pennies that have each of the 50 states punched next to Lincoln. On the reverse of this Ohio penny the "CA" in America seems to be ruined. I haven't checked the others but I would expect all have issues. Would these pennies be considered damaged and just worth a cent?

Re: Good Intentions
Technically this is damage. But counterstamped cents like this have their own novelty such that some people collect them. Value...sorry...don't quit your day job :)
Check eBay SOLD auctions for like items for value.
Here is a thread from one guy who has an incredible collection:

Re: Good Intentions
I agree, "Counterstamp".
The so-called "Damage" to the reverse, is from the Counterstamp on the obverse. Notice how they are exactly opposite of each other on the coin.

Re: Good Intentions
I had no idea how many different ones there were until viewing the thread on CCF I posted. For a couple of years I have had my email alert me for a long time to watch what he posts. A lot of interesting things things there.
