<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3630362, member: 101855&quot;]Here is an example of the piece you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]973700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]973701[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a presidential campaign token from Zachary Taylor’s 1848 run for the White House. The Sullivan – DeWitt variety number is ZT 1848-17. It is a scarce piece as most Taylor tokens are, but it’s not extremely valuable because there are not a great many collectors who specialize in Taylor items.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taylor was a Whig. He ran against Democrat, Lewis Cass. Cass items are quite scarce and usually bring strong prices because Cass tokens have been regarded as rarities since the mid 19th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taylor was one of two heroes who emerged from the Mexican War. Winfield Scott was the other, who ran in 1852, also as a Whig. Taylor was one of only two Whig candidates who won one of the eight presidential elections between 1828 and 1856.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
