1840 HERO OF TIPPECANOE William Harrison Original Campaign Token Medal Damaged
DAMAGED CONDITION - SLIGHTLY CREASED The Democratic party had great success promoting their candidate Andrew Jackson through a series of campaign tokens touting his success in the battle of New Orleans, starting with the 1824 election. The Whig party followed suit in 1836 by touting their own candidate's military sucesses with (the very first WH Harrison coin) a Sterling silver plated campaign token. This was the only WH Harrison token minted in silver plate. All others were copper and brass as far as I know (except for a WM Bunker Hill). By 1840, they were producing multiple varieties of copper large-penny sized campaign tokens, and they also gave out copper buttons and button shells, all of which are rare and highly collected. Satisfaction guaranteed with 14 day no questions return policy. Buyer pays return shipping. Authenticity guaranteed forever
