folcan99 Valued Member Canada 235 Posts	Posted 06/21/2012 9:42 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 10:36 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
ikandiggit Pillar of the Community Canada 1166 Posts	Posted 06/22/2012 9:00 pm At the shows I've been to, most dealers have album pages full of these. They run about .50 to $2 each. Report this Post to the Staff
