[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3647249, member: 8959"]This link was mentioned before ([USER=17502]@PennyGuy[/USER] ). It is one of the primary sources for information on Fugio Coppers. [URL]https://coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/Fugio.intro.html[/URL] When valuing a Fugio Copper it is important to understand that there are many varieties of these. The Whitman Encyclopedia of 'Colonial and Early American Coins' lists approximately 60 different varieties of Fugios. Some are very rare to unique, others relatively easily available. The scarcity, depending on the variety, ranges from 1 or 2 known, to a few hundred known. This particular example was identified (by Conder101) as variety 16-N.
