Congrats, @Curtisimo, et al!
Ha! I had just copied and was about to paste what appears to be the same coin! [IMG]
Ditto. Welcome.
Actually, the way your photo is rotated, the 8 is on top of the 5. ;) Seriously, though- what @paddyman98 said. It is damaged, not an error.
Yes, those Kennedy counterstamps (and others with state outlines and such) were popular novelties sold to the general public when I was a novice...
Interesting that it sticks to a magnet. Either it's a 1976-D cent that got steel-plated somehow (outside the mint- this is not any kind of mint...

Update: this lot has SOLD, but it is by no means the last of my bulk world coins. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in other...
This mysterious uniface medal, struck in pewter or similar white metal, appears to be dated 1719 in a sort of "secret code", by way of a...
