Description

EP-95a. Feuchtwanger 9-Cent Strip. Choice AU. Three pale red 1861 Washington 3-cent stamps (Scott-65) under rectangular mica cover, held in 53 x 27.5 copper frame embossed with arabesque around a defiant eagle, obviously inspired by Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger's German Silver pattern cents from the Hard Times era. The identity of the maker and date of manufacture are not known with certainty today. It may have been Feuchtwanger himself or someone who adopted his familiar snake logo. The mica is a few millimeters short on each side, exposing that much of the stamps. Even brown patina on the copper frame.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28N9, PCGS# 9450, GSID# 10334)
