Anyone found one of the Lincoln cents with Kennedy's face carved in it to the right of Lincoln's? I found one last night, I believe it was on a 1973 cent. My mother had one when I was a kid (the 80's) that was glued to a piece of carboard listing all the ironic similiarities between the assasination of Lincoln & Kennedy. (Lincoln was shot in a theater, and shooter hid in a warehouse. Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and Oswald hid in a theater, and a bunch of other things I can't remember :laughing9:)
Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has found one...

HH,
Legend

I have found a few cents with Kennedy's face stamped on them, and one with Lincoln smoking a pipe.Can't remember the dates.

I found one the other day that had Lincoln smoking a pipe with a couple of smoke rings and another with the outline of Florida on it with Fla stamped in the state outline.

We just got a penny like that today in our weekly box. It doesn't have Kennedy (I got one like that from my Grandpa when I was a kid), but this one is a 1976 and it is stamped with USA and the Liberty Bell. My daughter thought it was pretty cool. Also got 9 wheaties and about 25% copper from the box. Pennies are fun!
