Not Valuable But Interesting Find None the Less

[fsa46]

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!!! :clapping: :clapping:

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

Yes, it's aluminum Dan. Unfortunately they aren't worth much, but being they were around in the mid 30s make it an exciting find for me.
