Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 03:00 am Came across this little number today. I normally deal with foreign coins and exonumia, and I'm not too familiar with US classic and/or error coins. Would a small curved clip such as this (>5%) have any effect on value? Thank you kindly! =) Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 11:18 am I doubt if it would increase or decrease the value, a Feuchtwanger in that condition is already a fairly valuable coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 11:36 am I don't think the clip will have any effect on the value. Did you buy this or are you just thinking of buying it? Do you know the variety? Edited by Conder101 09/14/2010 11:37 am Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/14/2010 9:23 pm Thanks guys! Conder - I already own the coin, but have no idea about varieties and I would very much appreciate if you know and can share that tidbit of info. =) Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/15/2010 09:51 am There are 14 known varieties of Feuchtwanger cents, five quite rare, 2 rare and seven fairly common. This variety is Obv 3 reverse G, it's an R-6 coin, 13 to 30 known. It is the most common of the "Quite rare" group. (The group includes three R-8's, one R-7, and one R-6. Total maximum population of the "quite rare" group, 52 coins) The problem is there are not a lot of people who collect them by variety. Of course it would only take a few to make the rare ones rise considerably. Edited by Conder101 09/15/2010 09:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 09/15/2010 1:58 pm Thanks for the feedback guys, it's important to know that errors will not always make a coin more desirable. Conder - Thank you for the great info! I am very pleasantly surprised that this is a better variety. I'll try to get a hold of a price guide for these. So far I figured the value at $125 to $150 based on comparable condition coins that had been sold on ebay. But, there were not any varieties mentioned, so I have no idea how accurate this value range is. Report this Post to the Staff
Numismat Pillar of the Community United States 1666 Posts	Posted 12/21/2010 3:40 pm Conder - I've done some more research over the past months and have confirmed this is a 6-G (R2), not a 3-G (R6). Thanks for your help nontheless! =) Report this Post to the Staff
