I'm looking for William Henry Harrison information beyond WHH-1840 88A

Thanks

    Maybe I wasn't clear, I want to know how many campaign medals are listed beyond WHH-1840 88A.

    Yes, the numbers go up to 135, but I don't have any of them. I stick mostly to the tokens and medalets. I have 24 medalets and one clothing button.
