since you seem to know something about tokens maybe you can provide some insight in to a recently inherited token that i received a couple weeks ago. Among many of the standard classics like large cents, 2 & 3 cent pieces, flying eagle cents etc. there was a small pouch of foreign coins. nothing too valuable in it.. then i found pic related. I cannot find an example on numista, or any for sale anywhere on ebay or the internet in general. basically the only reference (or other physical examples) that i can find of this token is at the Smithsonian and The National Museum of American History.

1876 Samuel J. Tilden Campaign Medal
A disputed election- quite interesting, and in a centennial year nonetheless. So is it possible that I inherited an extremely valuable piece of history, if I were to find the right collector/buyer? Or is it such an oddity as to not be worth much of anything? The example at the museums also has the small hole at the top so possibly they were all made like this?
