    I have finally acquired a 1787 Fugio Cent and I'm puzzling over what it would grade. I love the history of these. These were the earliest coins issued by the authority of the United States, authorized by the Continental Congress in April of 1787, prior to the Constitutional Convention which began in May. Much of the design is credited to Ben Franklin and they were produced in New York, New Haven, Connecticut, and Rupert, Vermont. Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated!

    My guess it was a VF coin that became corroded.
