<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nerarities, post: 1094000, member: 26684&quot;]Hi nightfo0l,</p><p><br /></p><p>It looks like you have a New Haven Fugio Restrike in copper or bronze (hard to tell from the photograph).&nbsp; It is also a later die state than normally encountered showing the die break through the O of FUGIO on the obverse.&nbsp; There were somewhere between 500-800 of these struck in the 1860-1880s for collectors.&nbsp; Interestingly enough, a high percentage of all known examples are in brown to red UNC condition, and finding a lower grade example can be quite difficult.&nbsp; There is a collector value for these pieces as they are collected as an association piece in the Fugio series.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Historically these have been called restrikes, but that term is not accurate as there is no genuine Fugio copper known struck with these dies.&nbsp; The make and engraving of the dies suggests 1860s manufacture as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>For a value, it is probably worth a bit more than the $300 you have been offered.&nbsp; In brown UNC they go for $800-$1200 depending on how nice the coin is.&nbsp; I would suggest a value for yours in the $450-650 range, but it could take some time to find the right buyer as again, they are fairly plentiful in the market in UNC condition for a bit more money.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
