1975-D Lincoln-Kennedy Commemmorative Penny

The penny is a novelty, a souvenir made in mid-seventies by an entrepreneur who was rather amused by the similarities between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, and sought to commemorate them by stamping a simplistic image of JFK onto uncirculated Lincoln head pennies. These pennies were then attached to small cards that included a list of coincidences connecting the two presidents.

Among these coincidences are Kennedy and Lincoln's 100-year apart election dates, their Friday assassinations, their wives' unfortunate position as immediate witnesses to these assassinations, and their successors both being surnamed Johnson. Additionally, both Kennedy and Lincoln were assassinated by radical southerners, who in turn were murdered before they could be put to trial.

This is really cool! Check out eBay where a guy is trying to sell them for $5000 a piece. I think that must be a joke or a joke on the person who buys it.
