I like the Feuchtwanger cent except that the blue toning around the eagle bugs me a little. I don't know if it's too bright on not.

DorkGirl

Love the Feuchtwanger!!

I bought a new camera a few weeks ago and still messing around with the settings.
I have it set on vivid so the color is a little to intense

I'll try for some better imgages later

I like that medal from the Panama CAnal opening, very nice! The Feuchty appears to be very choice.

Stefanie showed me both the Feuchtwanger and the So-Called Dollar and they are stunning! The toning on the Feuchtwanger is really beautiful and looks original to me. And the strike is fantastic - nice pick ups Stef!

Thanks, it was nice finally being able to sit down and talk to you.
Usually we wave at each other at the shows and that's it. Today we were able to sit and talk awhile.

I enjoyed showing you my new pickups today

Dang! That's a colorful Feuchtwanger!

I'm so confused... is this legal tender??

I like the first obverse (against the woodgrain) and the second reverse (against the black).

The 1837 Feuchtwanger coins were not legal tender, but it seemed that the Federal Government gave them a wink and nod for use in the economy. It has been the view of many collectors that the Federal Government was looking at the feasibility of a nickel coinage, and these were sort of circulating prototypes.

An interesting fact is that large cents and half cents didn’t have legal tender status either. They were coins of convenience for everyday transactions.

Legal tender had more to do with weather or not you could use coins or paper money to pay your taxes and other debts to the government. It was also connected with legal recognition of paying debts. Using a few cents to buy some groceries was not a big deal. Trying use a few hundred of them to pay a debt was something the debtor could legally decline.

There are sill limits on the legal tender status of cents today. You can't get back at someone to whom you owe money by dumping a truck load of cents in their front yard and saying that you have paid the debt. The debtor has a perfect right to decline that payment.

That is a very nice Feuchtwanger 6I. Not too many really toned pieces exist, maybe yours is something like an old leather purse toning?.

The good Doctor did keep some of these pieces, anyway, several were in the holdings of the family and sold off many years later. Its always fun to speculate, with a high grade piece like this...if perhaps its on of the ones that Dr. Feuchtwanger picked out to hold.


And O yes, they were legal tender (in the sense that Bill has stated) and saw extensive circulation. Within New York, Dr. Feuchtwanger was well known, and given the estimated coinage of over a million, and the population of NYC at the time...they were no doubt well known and in heavy use. There tends to be three groups of survivors, a lot in the low XF to AU range, a small number in AG into VG...and then the sweet survivors with claims to MS.

Personally, I think the largest circulation was during the Hard Times era, but I feel that as the coins wore on, especially in areas away from NYC, they took on a new life as an old thin dime. A surprisingly large number of circulated one cent pieces (not three cent) have been carefully scratched, usually on the reverse, no doubt to try and figure out if they were silver..or WHAT they were.
