I understand completely Pam, I have the same ESO problem. Equipment superior to operator.

All you need is to figure out the macro setting. Look for the little flower in your menu. That's the macro! That's for up-close pics!

I have found a few of these and tossed them in my "Cool" box. Nice collection. I have a soft spot for the ones that are cutout.

Hi All, Sorry for neglecting this thread...
NumisPam - did you get the macro setting to work? I'm not amazing with cameras but I'll offer any advice I can. The owners manual for your camera is almost always online if you don't have the original.
Silvereye - I like that one as well. I like the non-state stamps the best.
SilverSnake - Congrats on finding some. It's funny how random it can be to notice a counter stamp. Had you not flipped the coin or something like that, you could have over looked a sweet find.
Happy Hunting!

Found a 1974-D penny counterstamped with the state outline & AK (Arkansas?) in it this weekend.

Nice find John. Tuck them away and don't let them back into your general pile

I've gone through enough coins to accumulate well over $1000 face of copper. I check them all for oddities and old coins before bagging. Never found a counterstamped coin yet.

I find that a bit hard to believe Jade... I think one or two may have slipped by you while you were blinking.

I found an older nickel with 3 H's counterstamped on the obverse...no idea what they stand for though.
