<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 17625550, member: 101855&quot;]One of my big purchases at the Winter FUN Show was this Feuchtwanger three cent piece that features &quot;the defiant eagle.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536033[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This one of two minor varieties of the Feuchwanger three cent that have an eagle in the design. This piece is graded MS-63 PL. It is rarity rated as an R-7, and there are not a lot of these pieces around. </p><p><br /></p><p>The most common Feuchtwanger three cent piece has the New York State Seal on the obverse. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1536034[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The question was, what was so important about a three cent piece in 1837? The Red Book has stated that the Silver Three Cent Piece was authorized because the postal rate was reduced to that level in 1851. My research shows that really happened in 1863. Nevertheless, why do Feuchtwanger issue three cent pieces in 1837? </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a question for which I can&#039;t find an answer. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to discuss the Feuchtwanger three cent token in more detail, we can do that too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
