By the way, what does the reverse look like? Have you measured and weighed the coin? Other than that, very interesting coin... and probably worth keeping as a curiousity piece. Oh my, I just had a thought, maybe someone carved it to remind them of JFK. If so, then the only connection to the 1922 date is that Kennedy died on the 22nd day of November. I guess there are a lot of reasons someone would have recarved a coin. jeankay[/QUOTE]
