Great coin @ambro51!
I'm a big fan of Louis Feuchtwanger and that's a great piece.
Unfortunately, for better or worse, I think the German Silver color killed it. It seems people just want their cents to be copper (or copper colored), even in 2021.
I really should add one of these to my collection. An integral component of American coin history. Cheers, RickO
I have been poking around at the notion of getting one myself.

You need to own atleast one of his tokens. They are very cool!
Beautiful coin/token - glad to see you posting!
Totally like the mean-looking
junkyard Eagle on these..
Great design.
Here's mine: HT-268 (6-I) R1
I've had this one a long time.
Here is mine. Purchased from SeattleSlammer via BST.
Cool coins, I've always liked the obv design, with the angry eagle.

I am a large cent collector, thus my interest in adding a Feuchtwanger Cent to my collection. I also find the design of the eagle and the snake very interesting. This example was acquired unattributed a long time ago, and I was very surprised when I found out last year it is a rare variety 3-D.

I learn so much from this forum. I had never heard of these. That eagle looks really angry. Neat coin.

I know that there are a lot of varieties for this private issue, and that some are valuable. Could someone please help me determine the variety of my type example?
Above coin was a raw ebay win.
It is the 6-I die combination, Rarity-1 and probably the most encountered of the 13 die combinations. (A quick diagnostic -- if there is a berry [sometimes looks like just a stem] to the left of the bow it is one of the most common combinations.)

Love Dr. Feutchwanger's tokens everyone!
Here's one from Donald Groves Patrick that I love and wished I was able to acquire:
