Im not sure what to think of this coin. I dont know much about US coins but I was checking my rolls of Canadian coins and found this. Now I'm pretty sure this is an Image of John F Kennedy. Can someone confirm to me what this coin is and does it hold any value. Thanks guys.

Very common counterstamp...although I have not seen it on that recent a coin. I've found several all dated from the early seventies. Worth about a buck as a novelty.

There are several versions of counter stamping. I like the Kennedy one, but this is my favorite:

There are probably hundreds of counterstamps like this. There are some with sports teams, company logos and whatnot.
Here's a few I picked up:

I wouldn't say they are "common" I have only found about 4. The only ones I have seen people buy are US State counterstamps.

At the shows I've been to, most dealers have album pages full of these. They run about .50 to $2 each.
