Looks like 12-X to me, but wait for confirmation from someone else, just in case.

This is an example of K.12-M, which is an R.4 variety. Kranky had the obverse attribution correct, but the reverse is M (only used on 2 die marriages). The other use of reverse M is on 19-M, which is an R.7 variety, so my heart was beating rapidly until I attributed the obverse.

Very nice Fugio and, as I recall, you bought it cheap. Congratulations!

Don't own this one yet, just considering buying it, and definately not as cheap as the last one I picked up .

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Okay, then I have a great idea: Sell me the Fugio that you bought on eBay for nice, big fat $20 profit. That will help to finance the purchase of the 12-M that you posted here. Did I mention that K.12-M is an ultra rare R.8 variety???

If I end up buying this one, I'll be happy to sell you the other at my cost.

Dennis (Jade) has peaked my interest in Fugio cents! Click for a website. They are fantastic coins, IMO, and I've been researching them on Heritage, Notre Dame website, etc. Thanks, Dennis!
