Description

Possibly Unique HT-266
Feuchtwanger Three Cent Obverse Die Trial
MS64 Brown

(1837) Feuchtwanger Three Cent Obverse Die Trial MS64 Brown NGC. Ex: S. Berngard Collection. Low-119B, HT-266, R.8. The obverse displays the eagle motif of Low-119, HT-265, sans date. Heavy circular die lines, presumably caused by a reduction lathe, fill the obverse field. After this piece was struck but prior to Feuchtwanger's production of the extremely rare HT-265, the obverse die was modified. The die lines were removed, the rock was extended on its right border, and the date was added. Struck over a 1793 Middlesex Conder token, D&H 1033 or 1034. The undertype is flattened but visible on the reverse.
Ex: Rossa & Tanenbaum, 12/1989 to Byron White; Samuel Berngard Collection (Stack's, 7/2008), lot 3146, which realized $8,625.
