Well after my first box of cents I was hooked. ( I Really appreciate the newbie guide it was a great way to get me into this and I think i have another fun hobby!) At any rate I've tried about 10 banks looking for halfs lately and haven't found a single one. I guess I'm gonna have to order them - thats next on the agenda. So not wanting to go away empty handed I bought a box of pennies for fun. Well I searched them and found 11 wheats not bad nothing very special but I took a photo of them anyways with my Strange penny that I actually was wondering if any of you more knowledgeable types knew anything about. It is a 1978 that is completely normal except it has the Letters "CT" stamped in front of Lincolns Face and the outline of what looks like Connecticut (North would be at the bottom of the letters) at any rate what better way to describe it than the photo :)

This is the whole lot of them

And this is the close up

Is this just someone defacing the coin by stamping it or something?
