<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Larry Moran, post: 575123, member: 4580&quot;]Here&#039;s a new arrival, my first Feuchtwanger Composition Cent, bought in a New York auction late last month. Struck beginning in 1837 and ending in 1864, Lewis Feuchtwanger&#039;s one cent and three cent trial pieces circulated freely during the Hard Times Era, around 1836-1844. In 1837, Feuchtwanger suggested to the U.S. Congress that his metallic composition be used to replace the use of copper cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>These pieces were a german silver variety, made with a composition of nickel, copper, and zinc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Values can be found in the Red Book.</p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to comment and post your own pics of Feuchtwangers.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be searching for a high-grade example in the future, But I do like this old relic, especially for its eagle.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g254/Larrymo123/MyFirstFeuchtwangerCentwithText1024.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
