<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 2131263, member: 24544"]Just a heads up on these while I'm thinking about it. If this is a type coin purchase you probably want to buy a common variety coin (R1 to maybe R3, stay away from R4 and R5+). There is a serious group of collectors who collect these by die variety, and there are quite a few rare varieties. Dealers often carry these rare varieties, but they sell for a significant premium over the more common coins. Hence you can find $600 fine fugio cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion, fugio cents are the type of coins which take a bit of patience to buy.
