I have a Kennedy Lincoln penny and I'm wondering if it's a counterstamped coin. I've heard about these types of coins and I'm curious if mine falls into that category.

    The question of how common Lincoln-Kennedy Pennies are often arises, yet there is a lack of official mintage figures to provide a definitive answer.

    This absence of official records stems from the fact that these coins were not produced by the United States Mint.

    The Kennedy Lincoln Penny serves as a prime illustration of a counterstamped coin.

    Instead, they were created through various means, often involving the modification of existing pennies.
