<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mill rat41, post: 570714, member: 16688&quot;]I just picked up this fugio which was sold as Newman 18h, R-5, VF-30.&nbsp; The last couple of weeks I have been looking at grading standards for fugios, but haven&#039;t really found much. Are there really any standards on these like on most coins - between soft strikes and poor planchets most of these are a mess.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking the missing digits on the sun dial are due to strike and not wear?&nbsp; It seems the coin was made slightly off center, there is no room on the coin for the &quot;b&quot; in business.&nbsp; The coin does have some green &quot;gunk&quot; on the edges, is this verdigis or corrosion?&nbsp; I had to monkey with color on the pics a bit to make the details show, in hand the coin is 2 tone brown.&nbsp; Is that a die crack or a scratch running across the clock?&nbsp; Is this coin gradable by PCGS - they seem a little more forgiving on these than NGC?&nbsp; Thanks for looking, this is my first forray into copper.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/jmicky41/fugioobverse2-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/jmicky41/fugioreverse1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b40/jmicky41/fugioegde.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
