I've seen others post of these, so I suppose they aren't that uncommon... but it's a first for me. Found Illinois. Took me sorting about five million to find this first one. Yay!

one down....only forty-nine to go!
it is fitting that you found Illinois first, after all it is the "land of Lincoln"!

Sorry, I want to but I can't. Where's that Super pick thread?

I've hit a bit of a cold spell on these, too. I was finding about 1 every two weeks. I haven't found one in over 6 months or better. I thing the last one I found was South Carolina.

I've got three of them with the most recent one found only two weeks ago. Before that it had been months and months.

Questions:

1. What year(s) were these produced?
2. Anyone have a pic to post?
3. Value any higher than .01 cent?

Thanks

I just found one today, New Hampshire. I've only found two or three total.

I've yet to find any state cents. I've found 3 Lincoln - Kennedy cents.

Never even heard of a Lincoln-Kennedy cent. What do they look like?

Lincoln Penny, with Kennedy facing Lincoln on the right side above the date. There was a long comparison of what Lincoln and Kennedy had in common, that the penny was glued to and sold.

Don't find the 'counterstamped' Lincolns very often (i.e.-Kennedy, US states, or some other marking), but just today I ran across a 1974 Lincoln with "SD" and the outline of the state stamped into it.

Rather find a 1914 D, though
