Comment

The differences from HT #32 are -
the corner of the safe under right foot of X (EXECUTIVE)
the 7 (1837) over E (AGENT)
the ear is close to second L (ILLUSTRIOUS)
cinquefoils at left and right border are carefully formed
hindmost leg is very close to R (PREDECESSOR), etc.

Note: this page originally had the denomination as 1/2 Cent but
the catalogue has the diameter as 28.5mm which is the same as
the pages for HT #31 and HT #32 so this page should also be 1 Cent.
