These are ordinary Lincoln Cents that a private company stamped with a rather crude portrait of John Kennedy. They were sold for about $1 glued to a card that listed several "amazing" similarities between the two assassinated Presidents. Like Lincoln was shot in the Ford Theater and Kennedy in a car built by the Ford Motor Co (a Lincoln). Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln and Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. About the only similarity listed that is 100% accurate is that both were succeeded by a Vice President named Johnson.

I also have a similar penny, but the one I have is dated 76. I heard it's not worth anything more than one cent, but it is pretty cool to have. Mine still has the glue residue on the back of it. How many are out there is my question? I'd like to collect as many as possible. I love odd coins and items.
