I have no idea what this is all I know is I have a bunch more in mint condition or like proof condition. Struck on silver? Struck on foreign currency? Struck on a nickle planchet?

These were commonly sold as novelties in the 1970s. Yours is likely nickel or chrome plated. Also found with a high frequency are cents with an outline of an individual state stamped into the field and states with a profile of JFK looking at Lincoln in the obverse field. They are essentially worth face value.

Dam that's crappy I thought it was something good. But thank you for the help

I often saw these brought to me for evaluation by non-collectors, thinking they had found something special...They were disappointed... Cheers, RickO
Yea I'm probably only 8 months into coin collecting so that kind of stuff I'm still learning.

I'll snap up a counter stamped coin if it's sold as damaged or cheap enough. There is a sub-cult market for them.
I'd say Ebay is the best market for them.
One like yours sold on Ebay recently for $1.00 plus $1.00 shipping.
There is another like yours but a 1976 with a couple of other cents and they are asking $14.95 and $2.83 shipping.
Some counter stamps on older coins can be worth a pretty good bit, depending on the coin, who stamped it and why they did it.
Hey but your looking most never look and if you don't look you will never find anything. Keep trying you'll find something good some day, Welcome to the board.
Hoard the keys.
I agree with Type2.... always look... and then ask questions here.... There are treasures to be found out there... Cheers, RickO
thats what i like about the hunt of it. best wishes
I totally agree! My Dad was a great collector of many things- not coins-but lots of things, and he had that as his mantra. Also... welcome to the forum!
I have a similar novelty coin. It has JFK on it.

And welcome to the forum.
