This is only 1 of 2 United States coins I bought this year for my collection. I never thought I would buy a mint state Fugio Cent so I wanted an excuse to post this one again. I loved the look of this piece and the price didn’t go absolutely insane because of the clip, which doesn’t interfere with the design so it didn’t bother me at all. Additionally, it is a testament to how poorly and with very little quality control these were made when the private minter defrauded a very early U.S. government.</p><p><br /></p><p>1787 1C Fugio Cent, UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils -- Straight Clip -- MS64 Brown NGC. N. 8-B, W-6740, R.3. A 5% straight planchet clip is the most distinguishing feature of this Choice Uncirculated Newman 8-B Fugio cent. Traces of mint red and blue add eye appeal to the glossy, mostly smooth surfaces. As usual for he variety, prominent die clashing is seen on the reverse. Sharply struck, with only a touch of the often-seen weakness at the upper reverse rings. A scarce early copper error, possibly set aside and preserved for that reason.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
