Rare Mint State Preservation
Missing from Ford and Dice-Hicks
New York--New York. 1837 Feuchtwanger Cent. HT-268, Low-120, W-NY-480 Dies 3-D. Rarity-7. German Silver. Reeded Edge. 18.5 mm. MS-61 (PCGS).
Coin alignment, with a slight counterclockwise offset. Splashes of light steel-rose enhance otherwise pewter gray surfaces on both sides of this smooth and satiny example. Lightly struck throughout much of the wreath on the reverse, although the eagle is sharper with emerging to bold detail even over the central high point. 3-D is one of the rarest die combinations of the Feuchtwanger cent, and most survivors are in circulated grades such as VF and EF. This variety was missing from the extensive Ford holdings, as well as from Dice-Hicks. An important bidding opportunity that is sure to attract spirited competition among specialists.
Provenance: Ex LPI; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. The plate token for the die marriage in the 2015 Whitman Guide Book of Hard Times Tokensby Q. David Bowers. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
