went to the car dealership this morning and wound up talking to the receptionist for a little while...
long story short
she shows me this 1974 lincoln penny she received from a customer, it had on the obverse a little silouette (sp) facing lincoln, looks like a reasonable kennedy fascimilie...
I wish I had my camera to take a quick shot but Ill only geek out so far
anyone ever come across something like that ? I dont think it was freehand, it looked counterstampish to me...
bizzare...
