mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 06/13/2008 4:02 pm Now you've asked for me to give away the secret. That's ok. I was planning on doing it eventually anyways. Image: fugio2.jpg 52.82 KB Yes, that 4 letter word tells the story. It is a copy since I can't afford a real fugio at this point in my life. I bought one of the former Gallery Mint replica fugios and gave it a bit of aging. I think it turned out quite well. Luckily it has the stamp on it to prevent it from being misrepresented at some point. Mike Report this Post to the Staff

mmerc20 Valued Member United States 372 Posts	Posted 06/13/2008 5:47 pm Yeah Eaglefoot....the market is already quite saturated with that fake Chinese crap and I didn't want to be one of the culprits by the alteration for my collection. Mike Report this Post to the Staff
