Details look pretty accurate. If it's a fake, someone went through a lot of trouble to simulate a ton of environmental damage.

100% genuine! The planchet flaws are an excellent sign of authenticity.

That's fantastic news! Thanks, I understand there's a number of variations, and I'll need help on the grade!

100% authentic. As a US Type collector I try not to stray from that set, but I've been seriously considering a Fugio copper. They're just amazing coins.

The grade depends on if it is my coin or yours. I personally would grade it VG-8,Planchet Flaws. An advanced collector might net grade it down to G-4 to price it.

Congratulations - great find. As you can see from my avatar I collect old copper but only have one Fugio and dream of more.
