ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 06/09/2020 11:45 am The quarantine has finally been lifted here in my part of Pennsylvania, so I took this past weekend to visit my local coin shops, with mask and all! One of the dealers had this Feuchtwanger Cent and it was reasonably priced, so I purchased it. It has a very nice design with quite a bit of detail left. What are your thoughts on the grade of this coin? I say around the VF range, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3335 Posts	Posted 06/09/2020 1:35 pm Nice old Feuchtwanger! Looks like variety 4-E (R3) but others can confirm. There is a lamination on the obverse. It's hard to grade these tokens because of inconsistent striking. I would also say it is likely in the VF range based on the reverse.

ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 06/09/2020 1:56 pm Thanks! Bump111 - I compared it to an online variety guide and it does appear to be a 4-E, so that's pretty neat. Being a rarity 3, would that add any extra value or is it one of the more common varities? Report this Post to the Staff
Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3335 Posts	Posted 06/09/2020 2:26 pm The rarity guide is based on the "Hard Times Tokens" reference guide. I don't have the guide in front of me and can't give you population estimates right now. A lot of these tokens are R1 and R2, so R3 is less common. Rarest Feuchtwanger I can remember is in the R6 range. Value is relative and I'd think a VF R3 Feuchtwanger would bring somewhere between $125 and $175.
