The 1 over 1 is really apparent and dramatic! I think the planchet flaws are interesting and give it a lot of character. definitely a keeper.

 

Fletcher - what a wonderful collection you have. Bravo! :thumb:

 

Here is an interesting little low grade Newp ... 12-KK R.8 Ex Norweb

 

I think I figered out how to post pictures of my fugio

[/IMG]Sorry for red x's my only current fugio , don't know variety if there is enough detail.:thumb:

 

What interesting-looking coins, I've never seen these before now.

 

Ok.. here's my ugly Fugio.

When the Lord was passing out Pretty, this Fugio thought he said 'Gritty', and got in the back of the line. :goofer:

And whoever used this as a necklace (holed), must've also used it as a chew toy!

I believe it's a 9-T, but I'm not 100% sure. As you see, there's not a lot of markers left for a diagnostic.

 

I like your Fugio! Sure it's damaged, but there is a lot of the design left and I'm not seeing a lot of corrosion. Talk about coins with character....

 

If any of you are looking for an amazing affordable example of a Fugio, CRO just added one to their site. If I didn't already have a great 8-X, I would be all over it ...

Rabbit,
Maybe you would have some incite about my carpenters scribe with the Fugio cent marking wheel. Please see my post May 12, 1010 with pictures...Except for the hole in the middle and file marks, it is in very good condition. Do you know what variety example this is?
Thanks
John

 

I sent my "Fucio" Concave Rays in for slabbing after almost dropping it twice while showing it to friends ... people just want to hold the thing in their hands. So now it is protected from oily fingers and accidental dings, as it should be. I figured it would make XF40 and, sure enough, that is exactly what she came back as today ...

 

Whoa that's a nice grade for a Fugio.
I bet you love that coin.

 

Congrats !!!

 

WOW xf 40 what would that cost?thats the nicest ive seen =)

 

Thanks! It is the Taylor coin. More than $20k ...

 

That's a very scarce, important, and historic Fugio. Slabbing it to prevent handling errors seems reasonable. What an amazing early issue!

 

I am trying to get one appraised. I think it is a new haven restrike that is brass? not exactly sure. TAKING DOWN EBAY LINKAGE HERE ARE PIXERS (still up on ebay if you search for brass restrike)






Can anyone give me some more info on this? I found it in my grandfathers coin box and he wants me to sell it for him.

 

Anyone's whose first post is a link to their ebay auction is not going to do well here ..

 

I can edit my posts too! sorry for looking like a snake trying to make a buck, I'm only trying to pay for this semesters textbooks. I have a bunch of other coins too this site is amazing from what I've seen. Sorry if I've rubbed anyone the wrong way!!
