I am just writing because I was digging in my garden and found this coin like thing, so I took it in the house cleaned it as best as possible (not in great condition since I found it is my garden) and looked it up and found this website. So can anyone tell me what this is? And is it worth anything?

I have a John Adams

Hello,
Try digging in the garden for more. The coin, in good condition, is worth about $2-5. The mystery club coins were part of a promotion (complete with a question mark box) that lasted several years. There are 3 varities with SAVE THIS COIN the most common, then SAVE THIS MEDAL, and lastly CANCELLED. Only 10 varities of the cancelled coin were produced. Coins exist for presidents from Washington to FDR.
