Picked up $20 in pennies yesterday as a change of pace from halves. No luck. Only 3 ea 59's. No doubles, although my old eyes had a hard time picking out all the details. this is one oddity I found.

Cool find! That's a novelty penny but I can't quite make out the extra design.

The extra design is probably an outline of JFK's head.

It is JFK's head I found one of these once too in the same roll as I found the same penny with a stamped liberty bell. I don't think they're worth anything but they are nice oddities to keep around and say to myself "what do people think sometimes"
