Search Tips
Targeting Your Search
Using "quotes" around your search phrase can help narrow the results to exactly what you are interested in. A search for George Washington without quotes will return all results that contain both "George" and "Washington", in any order. A search for "George Washington" in quotes returns all results with the exact phrase George Washington, in that order.
Try first without any words in the optional search box, then narrow it down.
This will produce more items, and once you see how the items are listed, you can narrow your search results with more accurate words.
Search ALL or search by category? If you're looking for only medals or tokens, by all means choose "Medals and Tokens" from the drop-down list of categories. If you're searching for items that may fall into a variety of categories, choose ALL from the drop-down.
Think of the one search word that best describes the item you are looking for and use that.
Maybe it's a ribbon, a button, a medal, or even a poster. If you're looking for an item from a particular candidate, use his last name: "Lincoln", "Greeley", "Bryan", "Jackson". Perhaps you know the number used to catalog the item in the standard references (MVB-1840-3, USG-1868-59, etc.) - use that.
When using more than one search word, try using "OR" and "NOT".
When you use multiple words, the search engines will try to find items with all of those words in the description. Try using "OR" and "NOT". If you're interested in all Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas items, you can enter "Lincoln OR Douglas". This would limit your search to just items with either of those names in the description. Or, if you are interested in 1860 campaign material that features only Lincoln, you can enter "Lincoln NOT Hamlin".
Avoid punctuation marks unless required.
Don't use commas, periods, dashes, etc., unless required.
Use accurate search words.
Perhaps we don't have the item you are looking for now, but chances are we will soon. Add the particular item(s) you are looking for to our "MyWantList" and you'll be notified as soon as it/they become available. If you would like further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Use accurate search words.
- Search for generic types of items such as "Jugate" but also specific names such as Colfax and Cleveland.
- Don't use special symbols in words or phrases such as "Frémont".
- Two word names, such as Van Buren, have a space. Names like McClellan and McKinley do not.
