<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5296252, member: 101855&quot;]This 1864 McClellan presidential campaign token is listed as a Civil War token. It is a scarce one that is rated as an R-6. McClellan&#039;s running mate was George Pendleton, but the die sinker mistakenly called him &quot;J. H. Pendleton.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1222802[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Political token and button makers frequently produce pieces for both sides. Here is the Lincoln counterpart to the McClellan piece. There are two minor varieties of the Lincoln die.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1222803[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the second Lincoln variety. It is paired with the same Johnson variety. There are minor differences in the spacing of the letters with the portrait. The initials of the engraver, &quot;R.L.&quot;, (Robert Lovett) are on the first piece and omitted on the second.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1222804[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
