The Green River Whiskey tokens are very common with multiple die varieties, but I have never seen the other one.

The Anti-Prohibition piece shows up fairly often and usually in au-unc. The piece is also a true flipper token - beyond the Vote Wet - Vote Dry slogans there is a small Head/Tail designator. 5c beers are a good thing.
As the Capt mentioned, the Green River tokens are abundant and available as there were BU rolls still available not that long ago - I may still have a roll of 40 buried somewhere myself. What some people don't realize it that it is also listed as a magician's token (MT147) in the F. Wm. Kuethe catalog of magician tokens published by TAMS

There is an example of the other one in an old thread that has been locked.
I have the first token and a few variations of your second one. I like both of them

That first token is great..... If I saw that at a show I would definitely snap it up....Cheers, RickO
Cool stuff. The "Whiskey without Regrets" slogan immediately made me think of Hennigan's -- "No Smell, No Tell"
