New York--New York. 1837 Feuchtwanger Cent. HT-268, Low-120, W-NY-480 Dies 1-A. Rarity-5. German Silver. Reeded Edge. MS-64 (NGC).

18.5 mm. An originally and nicely preserved example with rich rose-gray patina to satiny surfaces. Well struck, we note bold to sharp detail throughout the design. This is a scarce die pairing of a popular Hard Times token, and it is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced numismatic holding. The numismatist who collected this token was a German Jew who escaped the Holocaust. His mother's side of the family included Feuchtwanger's, which explains his interest in these pieces.

From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.

Estimate: $ 1000
