As I said, it was in my dad's friends collection that I appraised the other day. It was his mother in law's collection and she wants it gone. He may have me piece out the collection, but I saw this in there and I was like "What the hell is this?" because it was in a bag of just normal dollar coins.

Eglit E-242 is what it's cataloged as: 1893 Columbian Expo - Eglit 201-300
I have no idea of the value on these, as they made so many varieties the value can't be based on "similar" items, due to varying rarity (like coins)

The one you pictured is gold in color, the one I have is like a silver/bronze color. Any idea?

Great find. There's a lot of neat reading on the subject. For one, over 26 million people attended this six-month event in that year. One of my MDing friends and I found two tokens for the same event down here in Tenn and they were found on opposite ends of town. Sorry you didn't get to keep it.
