kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 01/29/2016 9:21 pm I'm trying to add some nice colonials to my collection. I've wanted a Fugio for awhile but couldn't find what I wanted at my price range. I just won this on ebay for $275 from a reputable dealer. I think I did ok and it looks better in hand but wanted to get some expert opinions. This is a Newman 9-P variety. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/29/2016 10:46 pm Solid Fine+, & well bought. Pointed rays, cinquefoils, STATES UNITED; Clashed obverse & reverse, planchet void obverse. Reverse die cracks and a Cud. Good color. Attribution; agree, Newman 9-P. (R4) -- vermontensium may be along to correct me if I have erred, but rev. crack from O in ONE through ring 10, and cinquefoil positions look correct for a 9-P.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 03:10 am Not an expert on these but I will say it's an attractive coin with even and honest wear and no signs of significant corrosion or porosity that's so common on these. Nice color and eye appeal. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
kevro22 Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 01/30/2016 07:45 am Thanks for the feedback so far! My budget for this coin really only allowed me to look at lower details grade specimens of this type. I couldn't believe it when I won this auction for a much better coin, I figured it would sell for quite a bit more. In my opinion it is gorgeous in hand and I'm having a hard time putting it down. I'm also enjoying searching back through the Numismatist online back issues for old articles on Fugios :) Edited by kevro22 01/30/2016 08:04 am Report this Post to the Staff
