<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24859740, member: 101855&quot;]Here are couple of pieces I bought this month, so that makes them &quot;Christmas presents&quot; of a sort. They are the last to Feuchtwanger three cent pieces I needed for a Feuchtwanger type set. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the rarer 1837 dated three cent piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594130[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS called this &quot;Unc. details&quot; because the &quot;JME&quot; counterstamp on the reverse. According to my research, 15 or 16 of the known examples of this piece have that counterstamp. NGC straight graded a piece that had it. At any rate I probably bought it for a lower bid because of it. Overall, there are perhaps 70 or so examples of this piece known. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1594131[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is the 1864 dated Feuchtwanger Civil War token. This piece was never issued for circulation, but was really one of his proposals for a coinage to the Federal Government. This one is rare, with probably less than 20 known. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought it for a lower bid because of the scratches at the top of the obverse. I think that the more obvious line might be a struck through, but there are lesser lines that are definitely post mint markings. PCGS called this one MS-61.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
