Fugio Cent, can anyone help me with this?

Hello,

I have a customer who has had a fugio cent for over forty years. He fell through a roof of a house he was doing construction on, and found it in the cleanup.

I've got some good pictures of it, but i found out there are lots of varieties of the coin. Im trying to id which he has, and what it's value could be.

Now to see if these pictures fit. Also it is made of copper.

Looks like a 3-d a common one to me, but lets wait for some other's . Still a very nice FUGIO

 

Also just from going thru varieties, i think its probably the club rays version with rounded ends. I don't see anything pointing towards any different variety. Maybe someone could confirm that, and possibly help with grading. I'm assuming G/VG.

 

Im only looking through the red book also

 

I agree, looks like 3-D, and a nice specimen

 

Great find. All that I have ever gotten for such misfortune is a sore spot.

 

using the Grading Guide for Early American Copper Coins http://www.eacs.org/GradingGuide/GradingGuide.html, I'd call the details obverse VF, reverse between F and VF. Would need better pictures to net grade it. Nice coin.

 

Ty for your responses so far, you guys are quick.

 

check its weights and measures, send it to be conserved or graded

 

yea vf details

 

Are there any significant differences that distinguish the newman 3-d and the kessler 3-d? Is this one more likely the Newman?

 

best thing is learn to grade yourself or use pregraded samples as a comparison table

 

Yea i did look up a few graded ones eventually comparing grades kind of, it is fun. Thanks for the help
