I found this today in the same place I found the 3 cent piece last week. It's not valuable but an interesting find none the less.
It's a Franklin Pierce President coin, found in Cracker Jack boxes in the mid 1930s.

Cool !!! thumbsup01 thumbsup01 All I ever seemed to get out of the Cracker Jack boxes where the crummy prizes .
cool Cracker Jack mystery coin, have a look to see if you have canceled on the back of yours, you may have a rare one, it sure beats a tattoo or one of those folding faces I always got out of a box, nice find!!!

I was born in 1946, so these weren't even around yet. By the time I was old enough to remember Cracker Jacks all they had was junk for prizes, but at the time we thought it was golden. LOL
