    I have a 1976 penny that has had a second smaller head that resembles JFK and is facing Linkins
    I bought a book of penny's at a garage sale and found this penny in it. I also have one that is a 1909-s vd something as well. So my Question is do they have any value at all?

    WELCOME TO THE FORUM.
    If you stick around you'll see many such posts about those types of coins. Not long ago there was a massive amount of those being sold with a sheet of information about all the similarities between the two. Since then many have slipped into change and continuosly poping up. There are also many other counterstamped coins with everything on them from I love you to the Mason's symbol.

    I have come across a couple of those loose and have one on a slim rectangular card with all the similarities/facts about Lincoln and Kennedy. Counter stamped coins don't tend to have any numismatic value but are more novelty or even the realm of exonomia and tokens.

    Can I assume that the part about the one with the 1909-s vd something was a joke????:rolling:

    Yes, which is why no one has shown any attention to it. Best not give them what they want, ;)
    Your stamped Lincoln is just a novelty. There are in fact several collectors that collect those coins.
    1, because they can be considered damaged.
    2, because they are cheap and fun.

    .......me thinks there may be more than one novelty coin in the album.
