Statesmen1864 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted Yesterday 8:54 pm I was laying some pipe on a job in an old home during a renovation. I found three coins, one of which was this Fugio Cent! I am wondering if this is authentic or a New Haven restrike, as the other two coins found nearby were a Brazilian Reis 40 - 1824 and an Austrian Kruezer 1816. If it is authentic, would it be worth it to send in and have it officially authenticated? I wish I had more time to dig around! * Edited by Staff to crop and/or rotate images.

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1668 Posts	Posted Today 3H 51M ago It looks genuine, the New Haven restrikes are quite different so it's definitely not one of them. I don't think it would be worth having it authenticated in that condition though. Edited by lcutler Today 3H 51M ago Report this Post to the Staff
