i found a penny last night and it is a nice clean coin and when i looked at it more closely it had a head stamped in it facing abe. Has anyone ever found one of these? Are they common?

They are not really common, but they are found a lot. I myself have found 5 or 6 of them. They used to stamp a face of JFK facing Abe and put them on cards and sell them as souvenirs.
You can find things ranging to pipes to states stamped on pennies. People have a lot of free time on their hands...
thanks, i keep anything that is not usual. I sort mainly all pennies, nickels and quarters. I keep anything that is cooper, silver, and older than 60's. Is there stuff i need to look for?

It seems you hit all the main staples. Be sure to watch your Wheats and Canadian Coin. If they have birds on the back (1967 Rockdove) or Kings on the front (I think 57 or older) their collectable.
face off?
