Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
I Hunted an older church not sure of the date it was built I think early 1900's . At first I found some modern clad and some trash. Toward the end of the hunt I dug a Cracker Jack George Washington Mystery Club Token. On the Obverse it says 1st President U.S.A. 1789-1797 George Washington. On the Reverse it says "American Fabius" Join Cracker Jack Mystery Club Save this coin. The Cracker Jack Co. Chicago U.S.A. "Father of its Country." Then a little later on the other side of the church I find a 1958 D Wheat Cent. I searched the area good where the wheat cent was and no silver. Its a hard area to dig because its right next to the entrance of the Church and very rocky.

Well here are some pictures!

OH, Any information on the Token would be great!!

HH!!

You Probably Already Know this Much Mud , But Just in case.

CRACKER JACK Always had a Prize in it.

Now its Paper No Doubt.

But that was a Prize. Probably Late 50's Early 60's

The Fact I'v found several Differnet ones, My Guess you tryed to get them all.

Someone told me once they believe one of them was Silver, Making it worth something special


From Cracker Jack.

I personally was not a CrackerJack Fan. so I can't date them.

Nice Find
Congrats !

Yes, I did know that Cracker Jack gave a prize. I too did not eat Cracker Jacks so I don't know anything about the prizes. I was hoping someone could date and price this example. (Can't be over? $0.99) Oh, I did not dent it.

Thank you,
Jeff

Nice find MUD ! Those CJ prizes are collectable. I was watching a TV show not to long ago about them and was surprised by the price some of them bring.
