those kennedy lincoln pennies usually come with a card with some interesting facts

I'm not so sure those are all true facts though

 

I have a Kennedy and a love heart too. Do these things sell for any premium? This question gets asked lots of times with no feedback.

 

i

 

Probably a 500% Premium above face on those.

 

I have seen all of them at different times. Just machine counterstrikes to create a novelty to sell to the masses. I believe collectors consider all of them PMD.

 

The facts are not all true, and the ones that are aren't really all that remarkable when you actually think about them. For more info:

Crud, I gotta save these now.

yeah i sold it for $20. the first one i found. i was showing a co worker these odd coins. i also have a penny with a cross punched out of it the height is 75 percent of the coin and the width is 50. i threw 20 out there thinking i would get to keep it. but his mom is a huge j.f.k. fan so he gladly paid it. makes me wish i asked for more

 

$20!!! These go for a quarter to a dollar at the shows in the bargain bins!

 

Yeah, I get alot of counter-struck cents. Looking to put a set together with the 50 states. I pay 25-50 cents each, collect them just for the heck of it. I have a few of those Kennedy counter-struck...
