I have a penny with a picture of JFK (John F. Kennedy) next to Abraham Lincoln. Where did this come from?
April 27th, 2009
The JFK bust was added to the coin after it left the mint, just like the Liberty Bell, US map, state maps, Lincoln smoking a pipe or cigar, Masonic emblems, etc. These are classed as ‘novelty’ coins with little or no collector value, since they are altered coins.
