    It's the only cent like "Millions for Defense, Not One Cent for Tribute" without a wreath reverse as it's muled with the reverse die of the following Webster...

    1841 Daniel Webster HT-16 / Low-58.

    These do not come up very often on EBay even in VF or lower as I've only seen 2 since 2005/06.

    Rarity wise they show up about as frequently on the market place as R-4 tokens.

    Stack's in 2003 stated the following: Extremely rare, struck for Charles Ira Bushnell, pioneer cataloger of Hard Times Tokens.
    "We note only four auction records in the past 50 years. It is doubtful more than 6 are known."
