This vintage souvenir card features a 1975 Lincoln penny that has been privately counter-stamped with a Liberty Bell and a small map of the USA over Lincoln's profile. These cards, titled "The Second Century," were produced by third-party companies in the mid-1970s to commemorate the upcoming 1976 American Bicentennial.
Collectible DetailsThe Coin: It is a standard 1975 (often from the Denver mint, marked "D") Lincoln Memorial cent. It is important to note that the U.S. Mint never officially produced a "Bicentennial Penny"; the extra stamping was done by private novelty firms.
The Card: The display card includes a detailed historical timeline of major U.S. events from 1607 to 1857. These were frequently given away as promotional items by businesses like banks or realtors during that era.
Current Value: These items are considered historical novelties rather than rare numismatic treasures. They typically sell for between $3 and $12 today, depending on the condition of both the card and the coin.
- While the penny itself is worth only its copper value (about 2–3 cents), the complete card remains a popular piece of 1970s Americana for collectors.
