New today! I'm certain there are others out there, but I have never seen one. Anyone know anything about these?

    They pop up on ebay occasionally. I've tried to win one but have been unsuccessful so far.

    There may be one with "Kennedy" on it, but the Nixon is the one I have seen. 1960 was the presidential election between the two.

    This one was just listed on Northeast's website this morning. They say the time to buy something you've never seen before is when you see it. So, I jumped on it. I have seen and had many of these re-strikes, but never counterstamped.

    That is the first one of those I have seen... Any history behind them? Just a campaign token? Cheers, RickO

    @ricko

    As I understand it, they were counterstruck with Nixon and JFK (election year). I just can't find any other info on them.
