- Undated (1833) I Take the Responsibility. HT-70, Low-51, DeWitt-CE 1834-16, W-10-320a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. 28.5 mm. MS-62 BN (PCGS).
Coin alignment. With its superior quality and eye appeal for the assigned grade, this beautiful piece is worthy of the strongest bids. Both sides are highly lustrous with modest semi-reflectivity on an otherwise satiny finish. Toned in handsome copper brown, lovely champagne-pink and pale gold undertones enhance already strong eye appeal. Striking detail is razor sharp throughout, the surfaces free of significant post-production blemishes. In fact, were it not for a moderate size obverse flan flaw centered on the letters KE in TAKE (and, thus, out of the way near the upper border), this token would almost certainly have secured a Choice Mint State grade from PCGS. Premium quality for the advanced specialist in Hard Times or political pieces.
The dies for this type are attributed to Edward Hulseman of Attleboro, Massachusetts, whose initial H is present on the reverse die below the safe. The tokens were struck by button-makers Robinson's Jones & Co., also of Attleboro, for whom Hulseman worked from 1833 to 1836.
Provenance: From Steve Hayden's Sale 39, February 2014, lot 571. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
