1837 Illustrious Predecessor. HT-A33, Low-19, DeWitt-CE 1838-3, W-11-530a. Rarity-1. Copper. Plain Edge. MS-62 BN (NGC).28.5 mm. Of this variety Q. David Bowers (<em>A Guide Book of Hard Times Tokens</em>, 2015) states, "Russell Rulau lists a variety as HT-A33, with denticles instead of beads, etc. It is thought that these, assigned R-5 status, are simply artifacts of striking and not from different dies."
