Not sure what the question is? It's a medal. There were a LOT of Lincoln medals produced in 1909. This is one of the more-common varieties, but I haven't been paying attention to pricing. If you poke around on eBay you can probably find another to compare.
Fred Reed, "Abraham Lincoln: The Image of His Greatness" page 179 shows a medal with the same design but an award medal whereas yours is not an award or awarded medal. "Fig. 3.11. Whitehead & Hoag Co., Newark, produced a stock silvered-copper medal for Lincoln essay contests, differing only in the inscription on the reverse. This medal [the one pictured] was awarded in 1909 by the Cincinnati Post (King-486)."
Your medal is exactly the same except for the central reverse inscription. So that may help a bit ...

<< <i>They must have liked their trinkets back in the day , i have a very similar medal only it shows Columbus and dated 1911 for whatever reason. >>
Probably a Columbus Day medal. There are a lot of them 1910-1911.
