<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 2127806, member: 22729&quot;]That&#039;s a nice HTT, JA., and thank you for the history surrounding it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;H&quot; is the initial of the die cutter as you thought. Edward Hulseman was an Attleboro, MA sinker who worked there from 1833 to 1836. He was employed by the button making firm of Robinson&#039;s, Jones &amp; Co., so it&#039;s no surprise that they struck these tokens based on Hulseman&#039;s work. These particular pieces were thought to have been minted in the fall of 1833, but it&#039;s possible that they were produced as late as 1842.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, Hulseman moved on to New York and worked there from 1837 until 1841.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently, &quot;Roman Firmness&quot; was a derogatory description of Jackson, but one used commonly in the day to describe an obstinate, stubborn person.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
