I think that is actually a real, but damaged coin. Go to your local coin dealer and get your $5 - $6 for it.

Authentic 1964 Kennedy with post mint issues. Value is silver melt.

I agree, you have a real and damaged coin that is going to be worth its weight in silver.

I would be inclined to keep it as a pocket piece just to see what some wear and time could do for it.

It's possibly a Dryer Coin, or also looks like the start of a coin ring, made by tapping the edge with the back of a spoon.

It looks like the remains of gold plating are left on it. Perhaps it was in a piece of jewelry, and the rim and reeding were upset as a part of the mounting process.
