<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2CentRick, post: 892242, member: 16770&quot;]<b>Rated R8 in all grades in 1976 by Alan Kessler</b></p><p><br /></p><p>According to Allen Kessler in his 1976 book &quot;The Fugio Coppers; a simple method for identifying die varieties with rarity listing and price guide&quot;, this fugio is identified as a 12-N.2. The number 12 is for the obverse. The N.2 is the reverse die. There are many different die marriages in the Fugio series. It seems as though the obverse 12 is somewhat common and is attributited by the fact that the serifs on the letter U in the word YOUR points to the body of the letters O and R rather than pointing above those letters. The reverse die designated as N.2 is identified by the circles being being &quot;recut&quot;. This reverse, at least in 1976, seemed to be a newly discovered one. His picture of the N.2 reverse showed the &quot;recutting&quot; well but did not show the clash on the bottom off the coin seen on the tool. He gave this marriage a rarity rating of R8 in all grades. He posted no value for it. I wonder how many more of this marriage have been recognized since 1976. Just think, if that carpenter did not use it for his tool, it would have probably would not exist today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
