Hi, I saw this listing. I know very little about colonials and was curious if this is fake and what makes you think it's fake. If it's real you can give opinions on grade. Thanks in advance.

A cursory glance and it appears genuine. I'd guess VG on a grade.

Be cautious though, don't buy without a return privilege.

The one thing I note is that the coin in your pic appears to say "MIND YOU" instead of "MIND YOUR". Your pic also shows the coin has a small circular mark where the first leg of the R should be and another small mark after that.

Is this a known variety? I don't know. Check here for a long list of authenticated picture links:

"MIND YOU," I am no expert of the Fugio Cent for sure.

An expert needs to chime in here b/c I suppose the missing R could have been damage from long ago and the evidence was worn with the rest of the coin?
