I found it crh. I am wondering who is it, what is its purpose and what is it worth.

It's a gimmick coin. No value above face.

A common counter-stamp for many years after Kennedy's assassination. Many were produced by the world's leading producer of junk gimmick coins, Littleton Coin Co.

This has to be the most used counter stamp used as I see this most often. For me it's just a damaged coin,no value but there are a few collectors out there that might pay a dollar or two

Agree with the above. Value only to collectors of counter stamped coins--maybe a dollar or two. If you like it, keep it.

Thanks, jbuck. that helped a lot. I too had to remove glue from the reverse. I guess it used to be glued to one of those cards.

Extremely likely it was.
