Has anyone seen one like this?

Now this penny wasn't found with the detector, but it is a treasure. I found it in my pocket change. I thought it was pretty cool. I doubt it that it came from the mint like this, but you never know. Mostly likely some one fooling around with an engraving tool, but it has pretty good detail. I hope the scan shows it well.

Thank for the info. So it not one of a kind darn Ha ha ha. I didn't figure it was!!! Many people don't realize the value of some of that pocket change. So much so on rainy days and during the winter months I offend search bank rolls to see what I can find...

I have one of these pennies. I got it back when I was a little. The penny came attached to a card. The card told what Kennedy and Lincoln lifes where just a like. When I get home from work I will e-mail a picture of it.

Those coins were popular in the years following Kennedy's assassination. They were usually attached to a card listing some interesting parallels between Kennedy and Lincoln. I'll try to list a few that come to mind:

Andrew Johnson succeeded Lincoln. Lyndon Johnson succeeded Kennedy.

Andrew Johnon was born in '08. Lyndon Johnson was born in '08.

Booth (Lincoln's assassin) was born in '39. Oswald (Kennedy's assassin) was born in '39.

Both assassins were killed before being tried.

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy. Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.

Lincoln was shot in a theatre and his assassin fled to a barn. Kennedy's assassin shot him from a warehouse and fled to a theatre.

Lincoln and Kennedy each have seven letters.

Both were elected President in '60. Both were elected Senator in '46.

Both lost a child while President.



There were many more similarities and parallels that were interesting. Maybe some of the others here can remember them.
