I have a 1904 coin with 'For President Alton B. Parker' on one side and 'For President Theodore Roosevelt' on the other. Also engraved by the date is 'Made By Gardner' on one side ot tht date and 'Chicago, Ill.' on the other. Any idea what this coin is and subsequently, what it might be worth? Is there a specific name for it? Thanks in advance.

It's a 'flipping' token. Designed I suppose for people who couldn't decide whether to vote for Roosevelt or Parker in the 1904 presidential election.
Can't find a value for it but a description is listed on this site ( you'll have to scroll down to item no. 2494).

Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
