Anyone want to offer the sacrificial fugio for a contest? :smile

 

No, since I only have one for my little bitty Colonial type set. But I'll post photos when I can get a decent pic thru ANACS plastic. Great idea for a thread, Toad!

 

What a cool idea. This will be a fun, albeit a long project.

Here's mine -

Newman 7-T, R-4. PCGS XF40 4 Cinquefoils.



Diagnostics: (per Newman's new book)

Obverse:
- Crack through sunrays to right of sun.
- Tops of MIN step up.
- Bottoms of INE step down.
- Ornament between D Y touches D and centers over top left serif of I.

Reverse:
- E of WE doubled at top.
- First E left of second.
- W crosses circle touching S.
- Bottom rosette between N and E.
- There are no die cracks.


Sorry for the out of focus seller picture. And the coin surfaces look a little grainy in the picture but not at all in hand. I hope to take my own better pics in the near future.

 

Wow! This is the best one I've seen yet! Nice!

 

Tenacious "D" - I love it! Bet that cost you a good amount of "copper".

 

Thanks ryanbrooks! I was very happy and fortunate to be able to get it. I just wish the picture was better.

You are right Catbert. So I probably wont be posting many more than one.

 

BTW Catbert, I really love your

PCGS VF25 (16N, Die State C, R3)

H.T, i like all of your Fugios - nice!

(Is that a hole on that last one?)

I like the passion you show for your Colonial coins! That is what collecting is all about.
Regards,
Eduard

PS- why are you frustrated?

 

The 15-Y does have a hole. :bigeyes: So far, it's the only one I have with a hole but it probably won't be the last.

I'm frustrated at all the hassles in life. Between Ebay & PayPal, they've caused me more grief in the past month than everything else combined the year before (other than Ebay & PayPal). :goofer: Ebay & PayPal is to me what Spock is to Doug. :mouth: And lately, the weather bites. :goof:

I'm ready for summer! :thumb:

Here's my Fugio holed Newman 12- U R-4 that toad attributed for me and a rare one with misaligned dies. I know you have a 12=u toad, but mine is a cool one because of the dies I want to thank you Toad again:thumb:

This is an awesome idea for a thread but I don't have a fugio. Sorry but I will keep my eye on this thread and I hope you guys do complete the set. That would be sweet.

I'm surprised so few have shown up so far. The Fugio Cent is one so many like and I figured we'd have more than we do. :whistle: I guess Garrett & I will just have to fill in the holes.

Super pieces guys!! I love fugio cents!

 

Not to me - that's because they usually are pricey to acquire!

 

Here's the last one I have that's attributable. It's the 6-W:
