CIRCULATED 1974 LINCOLN MEMORIAL PENNY WITH MODIFIED OBVERSE

For sale is a circulated 1974 Philadelphia Lincoln Memorial penny with a modified obverse. The head of John F. Kennedy was added. Thus, the engraved images of Lincoln and Kennedy are staring at each other.

This is classified as a "novelty" coin. The original coins were produced by the United States government. (This coin was produced by the Philadelphia mint.) The coins then were modified -- the Kennedy head was added -- and sold by a private company.

Am not exactly sure what the residue is on the reverse. Tried to remove it just with water without success. My best guess is that it is residue from the paper to which the coin was originally attached via glue.

I have included a screenshot taken from the Internet of the coin and paper as it was originally marketed. The paper offered a number of amazing coincidences that involved both Lincoln and Kennedy. For example, both Lincoln and Kennedy were succeeded as POTUS by a man with the same last name -- Johnson.

Speaking of novelty coins, two others are also available on my coin book.

One is a circulated 1999 Delaware D (Denver mint) quarter with a modified reverse. Caesar Rodney and the horse he is riding are bathed in patriotic colors - red , white and blue -- thanks to the work of a private company. BTW, the horse is not "spitting."

The other is a 1973 (Philadelphia) Lincoln-Kennedy penny, the older brother -- by one year -- of this 1974 penny.

The customer's shipping cost for USPS Ground Advantage will depend on his/her location. I am located in New Jersey. The shipping cost listed above -- $4.44 -- is for not more than eight ounces from my location to the farthest USPS zone in the continental United States -- the West Coast.

If you want to buy the penny, please first provide your zip code. I'll calculate the shipping cost and let you know the amount to be paid.
