Mike Ellis 4 ANA Gov campaign tokens

You knew that if any candidate for the upcoming ANA elections was going to issue campaign tokens that it would be Mike Ellis. And given that he was president of CONECA, if there were any minting errors, he'd be sure to focus on them.

Below is a scan of a collector set of Mike's tokens, struck by Moffat & Co. in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

See my own page promoting Mike Ellis for ANA Governor to learn the mintages:

Neat tokens, and that is a neat picture of the final strike.
Where/how do you get a set?

 

I doubt that there are any other sets to get.
What Mike likely still has available are the type 2 brass tokens, which I assume he's distributing at numismatic events as part of his campaigning.
I suggest you contact him directly.

 

That realy is a nice set of tokens :thumb:

 

Tell him that I will promise him my vote if I get a set!

(yes, I can be bought, cheap.)

 

He should send all ANA members a set or at least let us have a chance to buy them .

I've got two different tokens from Brian Fanton's first run for ANA governor in 2005 and a variety of tokens from JT Stanton's run in 1995, plus a 1993 elongated from ANA governor Nancy Wilson, and an elongate and a token celebrating Gary Lewis' ANA 2003-2005 presidential terms. I like these things!

 

Hello Everybody! Thank you for the kind remarks on the tokens. The reverse is that of a 1795 reverse Half Eagle created by Ron Landis. I'm not sure who created the die for the obverse but the concept and design is by Timothy Grat of Moffatt and Company in Eureka Springs, AR.

I had 10 silver, 20 copper, 69 Type I brass and 931 Type II brass. Strike number 69 caused catastrophic die failure to the reverse so a new die was hubbed to finish the job.

I never really thought about them being in demand! Edwin is correct, there are no more "sets" available. Sorry!
Mike

 

If you visit my webpage in support of Mike Ellis' campaign, I've got new links to the video statement of Mike's candidacy provided at Portland (Mike wasn't in attendance, but had his statement read). I've also got a link to the ANA webpage featuring Mike's platform. Please take a gander:
