What type of symbol is it? Could be one of several novelty items or "collectables" made outside the mint from real US cents. There are a lot with a small JFK profile facing Lincoln, one with Lincoln smoking a pipe (I have no idea what that is supposed to represent), several "Bicentennial" coins made by adding an outline of the US or the Liberty Bell, and a series with each state's outline. The last was sold as a complete set along with a sheet of the 50-state postage stamps, but some sets have been broken up and spent for bubblegum. Or it could be just that someone had a punch and too much time on his hands.
