Probably to a government official who would love to come down on someone for defacing government property,,,boo wa wa wa

Since it didn't come from the mint it's greatest value is probably as a conversation piece

Seen many of these a few years ago as they came with a card that would tell you the similarity of Lincoln and John Kennedy, it was quite interesting and think they cost around 50 cents. this is why Kennedy is engraved on Lincoln penny.

I have one of those. Mine was taped to a little card when I got it in the 80’s. I can’t remember what it was for.

Now I really think I'm in the Matrix.
Only an AI would create such similarities.
