I don't think the 84p is silver or proof. It looks like an after market product. Probably hand stamped and then chrome or silver plated. I have seen both. (even gold plated)

I think if the mint mark was S it would be proof or proof & silver.

Might have been a door prize one time for a 20 anniversary thingy.. I've seen a bunch of them over the last couple years.

I would keep it just incase! It might be worth something in the future

It is a plated aftermarket product that a company had made and sold as a novelty item. Many of them have been found by CRHing, I have found about a dozen or so, and put them back in circulation.

It is an after mintage creation by somebody.

These were made to commemorate the 20 Anniversary of Kennedy's presidency. They issued another bunch stamped 1960 1985 for the 25th anniversary. Someone posted a copy of the original ad for them a while back, not sure of the link to it.

I kept them at first. I get tired of seeing them now. I threw all of them back into the wild at one point.

I do keep the nice gold bicentennials. I give those as small gifts sometimes. People think they are cool I guess because they are bicentennial and gold plated.
