<b>1837 1c Feuchtwanger Token. HT-268&#40;6G&#41;. NGC graded MS63.</b> Dr. Lewis Feuchtwanger in 1837 petitioned Congress to adopt his German-silver-like metal for the U.S. copper Cent. The petition, supported by Senator Thomas Hart Benton was rejected by Mint Director Patterson in 1838. Feuchtwanger published a book on gems in 1872 and died in 1876. A lustrous golden gray specimen with a nice display of luster on both sides. Nicely struck, too, perhaps not fully so at the eagle&#39;s body, but still well enough that its charm is enhanced immeasurably. &#34;Fewsht-wanger&#34; is believed to be the correct pronunciation on these <b>&#40;PCGS # 20001&#41;</b>
