Question
What I want to know is whether or not I have a rare coin in my possession?
I have a 1975 Lincoln-Kennedy penny. It is in fair condition.

This is a manufactured novelty item, made by stamping the Kennedy image onto a normal penny. These were often used for advertising purposes by gluing the penny to a card that listed the "Astonishing Coincidences" between the two presidents and had a small advertisement for a business at the bottom.
See the attached images....
I actually sell these on my website for a couple dollars each :

Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.
Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
