Anyone know who struck the pewter Pine Tree Shillings at ANA Boston this year?

I saw an image of one of these show tokens that were hand hammered on-site in Cliff Mishler's travelogue column in Numismatic News. It's got the traditional image of a Massachusetts Pine Tree Shilling on one side and "ANA 2010 Boston" on the other.
I'd primarily want to know who the on-site minter of these is, and secondarily wish to obtain one.
Thanx!

Is this the medal you are speaking of? If so, to order call 1-800-367-9723, ext. 112 if any are left. Good luck.

Thanx for your response, but that isn't it. That is a machine struck medal for the show. What I'm talking about a small hand struck piece that looks like the Massachusetts Pine Tree shilling on one side and has ""ANA 2010 Boston" as the only thing on the reverse. They were hand hammered on-site in pewter at the Boston show.

I picked up 2 medallions that one of the Boston coin clubs had made but it doesnt sound like the one you describe

I'll probably have to wait a few days until my new issue of Numismatic News arrives and perhaps post a scan.
The issue I saw yesterday was at the public library.

Thanks for the photos Edwin.

Were you able to find out who the minter and / or engraver was?

That looks like the guy that staffed the BEP booth?

No, not at all.
