numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11963 Posts	Posted 06/14/2025 8:20 pm Seems well struck and centered. Nice chocolate tone. It is marked 'States United' which reverses the name of the Nation. I think the obverse looks MS62-63BN. Reverse looks AU58BN. I would net it MS62BN. Even though the reverse looks slightly rubbed, these were the first federal coinage issues minted in England and shipped in barrels across the Atlantic. Congratulations on a lovely, well-preserved, historically significant coin. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6432 Posts	Posted 06/15/2025 01:01 am Granted that strike is often weak and/or inconsistent on Fugio cents, this one looks worn to me. I'd agree with XF-45 or so. Very attractive example for sure. Congrats! Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18902 Posts	Posted 06/16/2025 09:03 am such an amazing history in the early years of the republic. since the copper came from mostly military salvage many of the coins had planchet issue at the get go. strike issues abounded. finding a clean example like this one would be the centerpiece of a collection especially when at this grade which is just superb example. congratulations on the acquisition. I have it at AU55 Report this Post to the Staff
cboyera Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 06/17/2025 10:53 am I'm going to admit, I did buy the holder as grading these are outside my skills and I really wanted one for the collection. However the caveat is it had to be centered, lovely color, decent strike and no environmental damage (as seen on my straight graded fugios I looked at). This one fit the bill imho. PCGS said MS63, CAC green beaned it as well. Report this Post to the Staff
