Yep. Like @expat showed, this was an aftermarket novelty piece created outside the mint, for the US Bicentennial in 1976 (which happens to have...
Nice finds!
Since it is circulated, that one's worth one cent, technically. No numismatic premium. The toning is kind of neat looking, though.
Wait, wait! Never mind. Actually... you know... looking closer at that, it appears that maybe there was a love token done there after all. Just...
Y'know what I'd do with that? I'd hire a hobo nickel artist (we have one or two in residence here, I think), and have 'em carve something cool...

P&G- that's a cool one! I love how the wheat ears look with all that extra empty space around them. PCGS called this one broadstruck, but it's...
