<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 4845878, member: 101855&quot;]What you have is a copy of a copy. In the mid 19th cenury, I believe it was Willis Betts, made a set of dies to reproduced the Fugio Cents. The most obvious difference is that the rings on the reverse are thinner than they are on the genuine piece. Compare yours with the pieces I posted earlier.</p><p><br /></p><p>These pieces are known as &quot;the New Haven Restrikes.&quot; They are not restrikes because they were not made from the original dies. I think that your piece is a copy of a New Haven Restrike. It has a modern, cast look to it. The first New Haven Restrikes are collectors&#039; items although they don&#039;t interest me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
