Hi Celticsoul: I cannot see a line on the edge where it would have been put together and the edges are rounded. Thanks.  |

Quite the introduction promoter :-)
What pistareen said but I'm a tad higher on grade and FMV.
Beautiful example.

Here is a link showing the twin to your coin confirming Pistareen's attribution of Newman 8-X. http://www.stacksarchive.com/viewlo...119&auclink=It also shows what the coin sold for in 2006. The reason I asked about the edge is that the authentic coins have rounded edges and most fakes are squared. This looks like a very righteous Fugio Cent.  Like Vermontensium says you've made quite an introduction! Edited by Celticsoul

what a lovely and historical coin(one of my favourites), I agree that the grade is a bit higher. whats going on with that spot on the dial near the F? it looks like the beginning of corrosion...

So, I've got to ask. Where did you come up with a coin like this? By the way according to the Early American Copper Grading Guide this coin is a solid VF-30.

also, what's going on with the denticles near the M in Mind? a slight double strike perhaps?

Thanks to everyone for your help.
To Celticsoul, I found it in a junk jewellery box at auction.
To thedollarman: There is a small spot on the dial but I don't have a strong magnifier to see if its corrosion or not.

You found a thousand dollar coin in a junk jewelry box?! I collect Early American Copper coins as a specialty and would kill to have a coin like this in my collection I just can't afford one. Great find!  |

I got it a couple of years ago with a handful of foreign coins and some broaches. About $15 as far as I remember.

Cannot speak as authoritatively as other members here, but that Fugio seems to be the real thing, and a beautiful one at that.
Congratulations!
