1862 M.L. Marshall, Oswego, New York, 29mm Diameter, Copper, Fuld-NY-695A-1, Adams/Miller-NY-1011, Wright-668, Rarity-6

The scarce Civil War issue struck from the 1860 tired dies after the last digit in the date was re-cut along with the addition of a second smaller tree in left obverse field.

    Those Lincoln Cent Christmas trees are different! :)

    Here is something else kind of different....

    Bucklin's Interest Tables, Troy, New York. Low 89 / HT-349, R5, Fine or better by wear but tooled. A lot of detail usually missing on this always-crudely struck issue has been added to create the impression that it is the unique Low 91 when it is actually a Low 89. From the John Ford, Don Miller, DuPont and George Tilden collections.

    I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!

    From Wikipedia:

    The Feuchtwanger Cent was a "German Silver" private token coin circulated by Lewis Feuchtwanger during the 1830-1840s in the U.S. Three cent varieties were also available, though not as plentiful as the one cent tokens.

    Nickel silver, Mailechort, German silver, Argentan,new silver, nickel brass, albata, alpacca, or electrum is a copper alloy with nickel and often zinc. The usual formulation is 60% copper, 20% nickel and 20% zinc. Nickel silver is named for its silvery appearance, but it contains no elemental silver unless plated. The name "German silver" refers to its development by 19th-century German metalworkers in imitation of the Chinese alloy known as paktong (cupronickel). All modern, commercially important nickel silvers (such as those standardized under ASTM B122) contain significant amounts of zinc, and are sometimes considered a subset of brass.
