[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3646567, member: 92655"]I been looking at a lot of Fugio’s recently. This one is absolutely a bucket list coin for me and who knows when I’ll be called to cash in my bucket! I can tell you one of the markers that determine rarity is what they call a cinequfoil. Yours appears to be a four cinequfoil variety. All that is is a fancy name for the four leaf clover looking designs on either side of the date and the word “Fugio”. The four cinequfoil is the more common of the Fugios. And I’ll tell you this having shopped them of late. Values seem to be all over the place for these. Thing is, they seem to sell about as fast as they come available. Precisely the reason I do not yet own one! While I believe [USER=8959]@Eduard[/USER] is probably one of the most numismatically knowledgeable folks on the forum, I believe your piece is worth more than $200.00. Only say that because I have been shopping these lately. Thing is, it is hard to hone in on a true value until it is professionally graded by one of the TPG’s. Myself, I rather feel that NGC more favorably grades these colonial era pieces but that is entirely subjective. I sure hope you will keep us updated on this lovely piece of history![/QUOTE]
