1837 Feuchtwanger Three Cent, XF45
Eagle on Rock, HT-263
1837 3C Feuchtwanger Three Cent, Eagle, XF45 NGC. Low-118,
HT-263, W-NY-480-65j, R.4. German silver, 25 mm. Short Wreath
Ribbons. Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger struck tokens in his "Feuchtwanger
Composition" during both the Hard Times and Civil War eras. He
unsuccessfully attempted to convince the U.S. Mint to adopt his
alloy for coinage. His 1837 cent tokens are readily available, but
his three cent pieces are much scarcer. The two main types are the
New York state arms (HT-262) and Eagle on Rock (HT-263). The latter
is more elusive. The present HT-263 example shows moderate
high-point wear, and is mostly stone-gray with a few russet-brown
freckles near the wingtips.From The Gibney Family Collection.
