Description
1864 Feuchtwanger Three Cent Token, MS64
Rare Fuld-NY630X-1j, HT-267

Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger unsuccessfully lobbied for the U.S. Mint to
adopt his German silver alloy for Federal coinage. He was the first
to propose a three-cent denomination, eventually struck by the Mint
in 1851. His tokens were chiefly struck during the Hard Times era,
though backdated Feuchtwanger cent tokens were likely struck during
the Civil War, as was the present rare variety. The eagle-and-snake
motif, also seen on his cent tokens, originated on Mexican silver
coinage. A sharply struck and unmarked almond-gold near-Gem. Listed
on page 419 of the 2018 Guide Book.From The Star Mountain Collection.
