1837 Feuchtwanger Cent 4E ex. Q. David Bowers the Plate Coin for the Feuchtwanger Currency in "100 Greatest Medals and Tokens". out of every coin he had access to to illustrate the section he chose this coin. I that shows his opinion of it, and I'd humbly add that I too thinks its a stunning coin and I'd give it my vote for finest known Feuchtwanger Cent. Reflective and a challenge to portray I grade this MS68.
<< <i>What did you think of the one that sold from the cardinal collection last night PCGS/CAC MS-65+ was the grade on it.
I thought it was awesome looking but backed off on my bidding as it got real pricey. >>
It looked gorgeous. MJ
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

Alright ambro51 you really need to step away from the fumes of the gorilla glue!
This example may have just been chosen as it was easy to image since it's lackluster from having been cleaned.
To Err Is Human.... To Collect Err's Is Just Too Much Darn Tootin Fun!
1837 Low 119 HT 265 non proof striking at this point I am thinking this coin is R10 as all other six or seven of this type known are HT265a strikings under higher pressure on polished planchets
Here's a pic of my old NGC MS66 example... the coin was later sold and eventually ended up in the Cardinal Collection and was sold at Stacks last night for more than double what I sold it for!!!
Bowers gave it his best shot in a chapter in "More Adventures With Rare Coins". Edgar Adams wrote the definitive early research in June 1913 Numismatist. Various auction catalog writings.... Overall not too much and hardly Anything at All on the three cent issues. I do understand a book may be in the works. There should be an organized action by collectors to have PCGS begin variety attribution on these. If the can track down and attribute an obscure repunched mintmark on a 50s Lincoln cent they can tell these Feuchtwangers apart... X
