Check out this ebay listing. The first two pics show what appear to be original 1787 Fugio cents, the second of which shows a cool, clashed die effect. The third pic may perhaps be a Chinese knock-off?

I see the seller's in China and has scant feedback. Judging from his other "coin" listings, the buyer of this so-called Fugio cent will receive a copy.

There is a fourth image in the auction description, another reverse image that doesn't match the first image of the reverse

What I am seeing in this auction is a fairly nice genuine Fugio, and a copy of a new Haven Restrike. Considering the seller is in China which one do you think you will receive?

My guess is a Wuhan restrike.

The bids have about doubled since I made the post, drawing 15 bids so far. The more folks that take the bait and raise the bid, the more credible the listing will appear .... to some, I imagine.
