Who has time to make, let alone auction, such garbage?

    I don't quite understand. It is a counterstamped Lincoln cent with supposedly a portrait of Kennedy. They were produced from the mid 1960s through around 1980 and were usually accompanied by a card explaining all the "odd" coincidental likenesses between the two other than the fact that they were both assassinated. The card typically had room for a financial institution such as a bank to put their logo or advertising on the bottom section and hand them out to customers.

    They are now collectible to some and sell for around 50 cents to a dollar each. A lot of the people who buy them try to complete date and mint sets of them.
