Undated (1833) I Take the Responsibility. HT-70, Low-51, DeWitt-CE 1834-16, W-10-320a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 30 mm--Overstruck on an 1835 Matron Head Cent, Broadstruck--VF-30 (PCGS). Coin alignment, the reverse rotated 45 degrees counterclockwise. A most interesting piece, with faint, yet discernible remnants of the undertype plainly evident on both sides. Much of the outline of Liberty's portrait surrounds Jackson's portrait and the safe on the obverse, the reverse with traces of the wreath and a few letters in the denomination ONE CENT around the jackass. The cent was overstruck in the absence of a retaining collar, causing it to expand to a diameter of 30 mm, as opposed to its 28 to 29 mm size as originally struck in the Mint. The broadstrike has also resulted in somewhat soft detail to the denticulation of the token design. All other features of the token design are bold within the context of the assigned grade. Rose-brown surfaces with light hairlining betray an ancient cleaning, but both sides having since retoned handsomely in blended copper-rose and golden-brown. The present offering should be quite appealing to advanced HTT enthusiasts. Provenance: Ex Richard August, February 1974; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, 2013.
