[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 4730457, member: 101855"]I am sure that those tokens were financed by private individuals. Whether or not they did it through the party apparatus is had to say. My guess would be that most of them were directed more toward individuals or the state party organizations. The national party was still in the growth stage at this time. When they held their national conventions, not every state was represented, and the number of delegates per state was not tied to the state population and the number party members who held offices in the state as it is today. 1832 was a presidential election year. Low #1, the most famous and desirable Hard Times Token, was issued for Jackson that year. [ATTACH=full]1158105[/ATTACH] DeWitt attributed these two tokens to the 1834 congressional races. The opposition Whig Party issued far pieces. [ATTACH=full]1158106[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1158107[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
