New York--New York. 1837 Feuchtwanger Cent. HT-268, Low-120, W-NY-480 Dies 3-E. Rarity-3. German Silver. Reeded Edge. 18.5 mm. MS-63 (PCGS). Coin alignment. This is a lovely Choice Mint State example of both the variety and die pairing with a sharp to full strike to virtually all design elements. The finish is satiny with flashes of semi-prooflike reflectivity in the protected areas around the devices, especially on the obverse. That side of the token is lightly toned in golden-copper and powder blue iridescence, the reverse more boldly patinated in a blend of sandy-copper and blue-gray. The surfaces are smooth with a lovely appearance. This is one of the more readily available die marriages of Feuchtwanger's cent, although the typical example is circulated to one degree or another. Even the extensive Ford holdings, which included no fewer than five examples from the 3-E dies, could not muster better than an AU. Neither of the two Dice-Hicks Feuchtwanger cents were from these dies. This is certainly one of the finest known, and it sure to appeal to astute bidders. Provenance: Ex Leonard Saunders; Mike Ringo, February 1997; Stephen L. Tanenbaum estate, November 2013. Collector tag with attribution and provenance notes included.
