<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 698667, member: 19456&quot;]I have one with JFK&#039;s face stamped on it. I have no idea where it came from, I&#039;ve had it as long as I can remember. </p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v1512/photos/3/348354/6136805/2045Copy4Copy-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It came on this info card which was bent in half long ago. I wonder why they left the big open space at the bottom?</p><p><img src="http://images50.fotki.com/v1512/photos/3/348354/6136805/2045Copy4-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I recall seeing TV ads for those state outline cents a long time ago. It may have been on QVC or HSN, or it may have just been a commercial. I can&#039;t recall, but it was probably the late 80s or early 90s, a while ago now. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Personally, I don&#039;t have much interest in them, and I don&#039;t even store the Kenedy example above with my other coins. (it was hot glued to the card, too!) </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I find it interesting that you/your son probably got that in change! Somebody must have been pretty desperate to spend that, I would guess. Or who knows, maybe they hoped somebody would find it and get them interested in collecting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Edit: After posting, I reread the card. Wow, I wonder who made that up? Lincoln founded the Republican party, and Kennedy was from Cape Cod, Mass...Southern if you are in Canada or Alaska or Maine, but...that&#039;s about it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
