Hi guy's and Merry Christmas! I was going through my old miscellaneous things I have in a tin box. I came across this one weird coin/medal. Does anyone have a clue what in the world do I have here? Thanks guy's in advance. What's cool is this coin has Chicago Ill. stamped on it, my home town. 
One More Thing...Does it have any value?

Date of establishment. Premium, the best I could find was $3-$4. Probably more valuable to members of that lodge if it’s still active.
Thanks for the info. Do you think the coin is that old? Aug.13,1906

Royal Arch Masons Penny.
Nice old token.... Funny what we find going through old boxes... I still have a few unopened boxes from my last move in 2008....have no idea what is in them... I think I lost my move list that tabulated each numbered box...Cheers, RickO
I have encountered several similar tokens over a period of many years. Demand, and price, seem to be very limited ... probably a few dollars at best. The designs of those tokens just don't seem to inspire collectors outside of the organization itself.
Maybe if they were in a more valuable metal content? Such as, in Gold or Silver?

They are given to members during initiation ceremonies or meetings.
The date on the token is the date the lodge was chartered, not when the token was manufactured.
