    I don't really think that is what you would call a coin. I'm thinking more in terms of a medal.

    Looks like a 1961 Bronze inaugural medal. It's supposedly an "unofficial" inaugural medal

    Read more hear, a little more than half-way down the page:
    http://inauguralmedals.com/Inaugurals/Kennedy/1961.html

    From brief research, it appears its value may be under $20.

    It's brass. I think a guy named Mansfield made these in 61 as an inaugural medal when Kennedy was to be inaugurated. He also made some with gold and silver, but not sure if those were plated with gold and silver or actually contained them in the metal makeup.
