Looks like a genuine example with clash marks.

TNG- please don't make me list all the coins, lol! It was a lot of older (1800's) Canadian, German, French, and Italian coins mostly. There was also a couple of 1700's Mexican 1 Reale coins. The American stuff included this Fugio cent, an 1822 Coronet Head cent, an XF condition 1852 3 cent silver piece, and a very rusty 1857-O Seated quarter. I was thinking the clash marks actually helped it in the verification. It does look most like the "States United Cinq-4" coin IMHO. Thank you all for the input! Please- anyone else feel free to post. Since it appears to be authentic, I am going to send it off to PCGS for grading and a slab. I am a member of both PCGS and NGC, but I have a couple of free gradings left at PCGS! |

Great idea! I would send it in too. Also sounds like a very interesting box of coins. Wish I had one.

killer find. send this one off and repost it...I'm not familiar with grading these but I would say it could come in as a high VF or even XF. I think the gash at K9 could details it but this is a once in a lifetime find.  |

That's an absolutely amazing find from a foreign bin. I hope to own a fugio Cent someday, and finding one in a foreign bin would be a dream!

 Super coin, looks good to me as well. Later when I have some time I will pull out my Fugio references and try and get the Variety ID on this one. What a find, and no kidding panzaldi, someone messed up big time! "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

The verdict is finally in after 3+ months at PCGS- VF30. Saw a NGC grade in a newer post of XF40 for a similar if not slightly more worn coin IMO. So maybe NGC is where I'll send my next one, lol.  |

Very nice IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
