Liberty bell and us map on Lincoln cent

#1 Unread post by Windrider991 »

Greetings Dan and Coin Help you Community. I was at the end of a box of pennies, and in the last roll I found this penny. It is a 1975 D mint marked Lincoln Cent with a Liberty Bell and contour drawing of the USA struck onto the Obverse, and it also has some type of material layered on the reverse with a clear circle in the middle without the material. I have attached pics of both sides. Has anyone else ever seen this before? Is it related to the Bicentennial celebration? Thanks in advance.
Dan

Thanks for responding Paul! That is very interesting indeed. Is this a Mint promotion, or Postal Service promotion, or both? Would you think there is any value without the stamp affixed to it?

Thank you sir! Since it doesn’t have the stamp, does it have any value above face value?

I have no idea what promotion this was from.
I'm sure if you look around long enough you'll probably find it…
