I'm a Cardboard Picture Guy, but...

I posted this on the buy/sell/trade board, but am really just interested in learning more about this coin that I inherited from my father.

Any ideas on its origin? Rarity? Value?

Thanks!

    Would like to see it out of the holder as it looked like it was stuck on a clipped planchet...

    Yet looking closer there's 4 rim issues.

    The Harrison Morton appears to be: 1889 Washington "Harrison-Morton" Medal in Bronze, Douglas 34A. by Rulau/Fuld. Plain edge. Second Obverse.

    I do not have the book in my library to confirm it. It is different metal than the one which sold on Heritage.

    Added: Appears to have been buried in the ground for a long time!

    Thanks, guys! It doesn't sound like this has a ton of value, right? Given that I'm pretty politically active, I'll probably just add it to my collection.

    Thanks for the help!

    Looks a lot like a Sutler's token I've seen made of black rubber.

    You'd have to toss it on EBay at a low ask in a 10 day auction to determine value in this condition.

    Yeah, I'll probably hang onto it for my own collection.

    Thanks again, guys!
