Question
On this penny their is a face on it that's on't from the mint i think , i've looked around and i haven't found anything about it maybe you could help me out thanks jeremy
)
The face on the coin was stamped into the coin after it left the US Mint. It is not a government issue, rather a marketing piece.
They make these for many occassions and to honor different people.
The most common is John F. Kennedy.
Although interesting, it has no value.
