    Interesting.. They usually stamp it over the date. That one is on the date..
    Clumsy moment!

    These are fun. I have a Kennedy, gut, like paddyman98 says, mine is a little higher above the sate.

    I think that is the first one I have seen that is stamped on the date.

    Almost all of these are dated 1974 or 1975. It was a big thing then. Lincoln, of course, the most common.

    True. I have only one dated 1976. It has the Liberty Bell and an outline of the USA.

    Did you find the coin in circulation? Typically these were sold as novelties with a list of similarities between Lincoln and JFK.

    It must be the season, I picked these two up within the last couple of weeks.
    I think the one on the right might be a doubled Kennedy.

    1995? I didn't know they were still an object of interest in the 90s.
