    Beautiful three-centers. I have yet to get either one, but would like to. I have a couple of the one-centers though, but nothing like that one. It is nice to see well struck examples of all three Feuchtwangers.

    Yup the Three Cent Feuchtwangers are one of the ultimate dark horse esoteric coins. Overall these Feuchtwangers are amazing coins (tokens) and the beauty and quality of engraving always amazes me. This one is variety 4E and is ex QDB and was chosen by him to illustrate the Feuchtwanger Currency in "100 Greatest American Medals and Tokens"

    'Tis a Beauty Broadstruck if ever you should come upon any nuggets of information please post it. I feel personally this was intended as a pattern, so few survive and it's so illogical, having a million silver pennies out there in 1837 and here's one worth 12.5X that..... Must have been one confusing coin.

    Thanks ambro51, As Feuchtwanger advertised to strike store cards for other merchants...

    I too feel this may have been a pattern and a small quantity was struck and it's possible that Mr. Russell rejected and aborted ordering others.

    Also I was looking at the reverse of the Russell one morning and noticed possible trace remnants of the One Cent reverse design.

    Kaz and I were tossing some thoughts around and a while back and came up with the following...

    Lewis Feuchtwanger may have poorly ground down an existing 1c reverse die and re-cut it for the die for the 12 1/2c Russell.

    You can see some similarities as the 1c die wasn't properly defaced.

    I haven't had a chance to run this past QDB to get his thoughts.

    Wow that would be something and sure would add to the cool factor!

    That IS possible! I had wondered why there were misstamped devices but never thought along those lines. A GIF would help, www.gifninja.com. Obverse 6 must have been an incredibly well made die, several hundred thousand must have struck, they account for at least half of all the one cent pieces.

    I picked this one up off ebay for fifteen bucks. The finest lowball Feuchtwanger I've seen, and problem free!
    My theory on very worn Feuchtwangers is that they took on a second life passing as an old thin dime.
