I sometimes buy bags of mixed World coins at auctions. There are usually some Swiss coins in them. The 20 rappen is a denomination that is often found in quite old dates. I have some early 20th century pieces and even a few pre-1900. 

Hello dear VKurtB,

Nice to hear that you have some unique 20 Rappen Swiss🇨🇭 coins, dating even pre-1900. It would certainly be great if you would feel like sharing of them some here with us at NGC, and to simply spread some joy into collector’s hearts … Simply to enjoy. : )).

Looking forward to enjoying your unique 🇨🇭Swiss coins 

Kind regards,

Hello! Thank you for sharing the information about Switzerland's 1962 B 20 rappen coin. Switzerland has produced some beautiful and unique coins over the years. It's great to see that there are Swiss collectors out there who are preserving and sharing their collections with others. Thanks again for sharing, and happy collecting!

Hello dear WandaWay, yes, it is nice to share the little things that bring us great joy in life. Thank you for appreciating this. Have a great day as well. Best regards, JoKo

It looks like Mr. D has a hole under the ear.  It was probably a case of being in the right place at the wrong time.  It matters not.  That coin is still as strong as the day she was made and can still keep up with her peers!

Hallo dear Tigerbait,

Yes, you are right.  Since even every stone has its own story,  so every coin has its own story as well and every human being has its own story. And I agree that the coin is still strong and going strong : )) . Let’s have fun collecting coins.

Thank you for your deep reflections about Mr. D. And have a great day.

Kind regards,

Joko

What leads you to believe your damaged coin is worth 100,000.00 dollars?  Even in pristine condition, it would only be worth a small percentage over its face value.  You should crack the coin out of its holder and spend it on one of your story's virtuous examples so it will once again have some intrinsic value.

Hello dear C. Urch,

Thank you for your kind comments. I must say that I was very pleased to hear from  you, and your reflections on 'the pace of life'

This coin, called Mr. D (Damaged), is our property. Thanks for your understanding :-)

Thank you .  Let's have fun and a lot of  humor by collecting :-)…make life easier.

Are you selling this beauty?  

Hallo Tigerbait, 

There is a time to sell, and there is a time to conserve.This beauty, as you lovingly call this beautiful coin, is to conserve. The story behind this beautiful coin will once be revealed.

 May I be curious and ask you, why are you interested in this coin ? 

You call it beauty, although of course each one can perceive this differently. 

This coin, called Mr. D (Damaged), was once :

-  circulated

-  scratched at the surface

-  tumbled many times to the floor,  in garages, on parking lots, in shopping malls, and so on and so forth … and

-  today it is simply old

So my question is, why are you interested in this „beauty“ ? 

I thank you and I am looking forward to your  feedback, and in the meantime  I remain with best regards,

Joko

I agree with NGC. Definately a spender. Only worth 25 cents. Was a waste of money having it graded. It would have to be in a very high mint state to be worth grading. 

I agree with NGC as well .

It isn't illegal to mutilate US coins unless done with the intent to defraud.  (You also can't legally melt cents and none silver five cent pieces)

The two conterstamps are merely novelty pieces, the first is simply to appeal to someone who likes American football.  The second is part of a group of counterstamped cents made (privately) to commemorate the Apollo missions.  The one shown marks the landing date of Apollo 12 on the Moon. 11/19/1969

Hello Thank you for your valuable feedback. 

Have a wonderful day!

Can you legally punch US coins with an after-mint mark?  I thought you were not supposed to do that.

Technically, it is a crime to mutilate USA coins, but no one in government is going to investigate the conversion of cents into novelty pieces. Since they already cost more than one cent to make in the first place, why would anyone spend good money after bad trying to protect them?

Hello Thank you for your valuable feedback.

   Probably the most popular of these novelty counterstamps from the 1970s was "Kennedy looks at Lincoln", where a small left facing head of JFK was punched into the field facing Lincoln's face. I frequently saw these offered for sale in souvenir shops in tourist areas where I went on vacation with my parents when I was a teenager.   As I recall, the counterstamped coin was accompanied by a card providing trivia about the two presidents, such as that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy, while Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln.  I knew that these novelty coins were worthless even back then, but I'm sure that thousands were sold!

Hello Sandon Thank you for your valuable feedback. I greatly appreciate it.

No. They are simply mutilated with a silly design punch. These were sold to the gullible as "collectibles."

Thank you for your valuable feedback. I greatly appreciate it. Kind regards, Joko

No, these were counter stamped after they left the mint by someone or some organization to commemorate an event.   I have not seen either of these two types of counterstamps so I cannot comment on who stamped them or why.   Having said that there are collectors that like to collect counterstamped coins like this so they may be worth a couple of bucks to the right person.

Welcome to the forum!

Hello Coinbuf
