Important 1864 Feuchtwanger Three Cent
Very Rare HT-267, MS64

1864 3C Feuchtwanger Three Cent, Eagle MS64 PCGS. CAC. Low-179A, HT-267, R.6. "Feuchtwanger's Composition," as is well known today, was actually a "German silver" variant that alloyed copper, nickel, and zinc. While Feuchtwanger's initial one cent and three cent tokens date from 1837 and are generally linked with Hard Times tokens, the 1864-dated three cent tokens (which are die-linked to the 1837 originals) add a Civil War connection. This is only the sixth appearance of an HT-267 token in a Heritage auction, and the single highest graded example among them. Luminous pearl-gray and gold-gray surfaces show minor peripheral encrustation. Listed on page 387 of the 2010 Guide Book.
