TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 11:08 pm Here is a cool Fugio I just picked up! Just a few issues but quite a bit of detail for attribution purposes. I have been searching through Bowers colonial book and http://www.numissociety.com/showthr...2034-fugio-. I believe it is Newman 22-M because of the MIND YOUR BUSINESS and the WE ARE ONE orientations. Originally I thought it was Newman 21-I, but the last remnants of WE and an R on the reverse make this a STATES UNITED and rules it out (I think?). Hope you like my new Fugio! Any help confirming my attribution would be much appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff

chetzler Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 01:47 am I love it! Do you mind my asking where you acquired that? (Or you can tell just me to mind my business!) Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 09:28 am I'm afraid the 22 obverse has the N and the D at the same level. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 09:47 am The first cinquefoil looks to be in the wrong position for 22. the Y N relationship is off for 21. So basically I have no idea. Do not have references with me. I'm sure P will figure it out! Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 10:30 am Chetzler, don't mind at all:) Picked this one up at a local shop for less than $200:) Amida & P, thanks for the attribution feedback. Went back to my reference books this morning. I am now thinking either N16 or N19. I am still pretty sure that this is a STATES UNITED although the WE and the R I am seeing is really worn.

amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 10:44 am I'm liking the 16 obv. Wish I could make out the die cracks on the rev? Report this Post to the Staff
chetzler Valued Member United States 206 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 11:46 am Sounds like a great deal! I didn't realize those could be had for that price. I'll have to keep an eye out; that'd be a great addition to any collection. Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 08/14/2013 12:16 pm Amida's right with the 16 obverse. The ornament is just right of the center of the I below, and YOUR and USI slope upward. Only two reverse possibilities: H and N, and H is a UNITED STATES reverse.

TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 12:04 pm Thanks for making the match for N16! In hand the We and the R are rough but definitive making it STATES UNITED so Newman 16N it is. Report this Post to the Staff
