Can someone please tell me something about this Feuchtwanger Cent?

I buddy of mine emailed me this picture. I looked at it earlier today, but I don't know anything about it. My questions are:
1) What is it?
2) Does it look real?
3) What grade estimate is it?
4) What is the value of such a coin?
I can tell you that many moons ago he paid $150 for it. At least that is what was written on the old (OLD) flip, so whether or not he got ripped is probably irrelevant so many years later.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers, Richard.

Does it look real? Yep
What grade estimate is it? high AU/low MS (55/58 to 62/63); the weak strike is common
What is the value? between $300 and $400 (maybe more) depending on variety and rarity.
<< <i>I thought the weak strike issue was only at NGC >>
Nope, I just purchased a VERY weakly struck Feuchtwanger Cent in a PCGS 62 holder just a couple weeks ago.
I ended up not keeping it since the strike was so weak.
Does anyone know which variety it is? Are there multiple varieties?
