I almost forgot I found this today, I was so excited about the seated liberty dime I forgot about this token.
does anyone have any info about it? It was about 6" deep gave a strong quarter signal, I thought I have a silver quarter....lol

Hey dude, that's beyond cool! It would be nice to find it's worth.

I've found a couple of those, and I think someone indicated they were from the '30's. Mine are James Buchanan and William Henry Harrison. A look at the whole set would probably tell when they were made.

its 1869! Awesome token!

Nice find. I found one as well in 2006. It was the Abraham Lincoln one.

The back of the coin will be stamp CANCELLED above the companies name.

Here's a newspaper article from 1981. Nice find!!!!

Just a tidbit of info I found while researching more on Cracker Jacks.

1972: They had the 100th anniversary for Cracker Jacks. This was for when F.W. Rueckheim and his brother, Louis, started making this popcorn, peanut and molasses combination after the Chicago Fire in 1871. This article states that the 100th birthday anniversary was observed. It was a low keyed party, nothing fancy. (The Danville Register; Danville, Virginia; 24 February 1972)

1993: They had yet another 100th anniversary for Cracker Jacks when it was introduced to the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. These boxes that came out had prizes in them from the 30's and 40's...some pretty cool ones too! Now, this article states: "Today, 100 years after its invention, Cracker Jacks...." (Aiken Standard; Aiken, South Carolina; 15 September 1993) This newspaper got it wrong, Cracker Jacks was invented in 1872, not 1893!
