Question
i have the same one cent with two face i want to know if a lot of pennies with this small face on the side ,or may be this is the same one you had ,this is the picture....
)
Hello, thanks for the question. This was a novelty item made by stamping the JFK head into a normal cent after it was made. There were quite a few of them made, and also with other themes, like a pipe being smoked (by Lincoln), the 50 states (etc). They sold for about a dollar when then came out in the 1970s and have some small value today, but really not much. If you go to www.ebay.com and do a search for Kennedy Lincoln cent; or Kennedy stamped Lincoln penny or some combination (including stamped cent and stamped penny), you may see some for sale.
