<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Omegaraptor, post: 8606688, member: 76105&quot;]Was at a local show today (~20 dealers) and one dealer had a lot of really cool stuff. Very nice banknotes, coins, etc. He had an album full of 2x2s with a lot of interesting coins in it, 1600s/1700s, love tokens, contemporary counterfeits, odds and ends. Among the coins in the album was this piece of copper:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/f0/fpxxyaj76nb7.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/editor/hu/tntvbs2h3q88.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The variety, Newman 13-X, was listed on the back of the flip, and the price was $100. I told the dealer to save the Fugio for later in case I didn&#039;t find anything else at the show.</p><p><br /></p><p>Checked back an hour later and he was packing up to leave, the Fugio still set aside. I walked up and offered him $75. He took the offer and I took the Fugio home with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although it was likely dug up with a metal detector, the details actually aren&#039;t terrible, with quite a bit of the lettering on the obverse still visible. Very proud to add the first federally contracted US coin to my collection at a budget price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
