Post a fugio that you own!

I've posted this guy before -

Its a nice red and brown unc., but what makes it most appealing to me is the strength and evenness of the strike. Take a look at the examples that were in Ford and elsewhere and see how many have a full sharp strike through all of the letters of 'Mind Your Business'.



By the way, I believe I was the very first poster here to rip-off the 'Anyone - Anyone - Bueller - Bueller' line from the now cult film. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Hey, CCU, what's the Newman attribution on that Fugio?

Very nice, BTW.

I have posted this before and it is not exactly a Fugio but certainly Fugio related.


Fantastic Fugio CCU!

Thanks. Its a common 13-X, lot #107 in Eliasberg I. Its also the Redbook plate coin.

Thanks Boiler. Though I don't collect it, I like your currency especially as an adjunct to a Fugio collection.

So how do you store / display those?

Here's a lower grade example. Graded by ANACS as VF-20.

It's raw, and I don't know the grade or variety.

ColonialCoinUnion,

That is one incredible Fugio!

CCU- I don't actually display my Colonial Currency. I keep the notes in a Lindner currency album. This is such a fascinating period in our nations history. I am working on a basic 13 colony set with a few Continental Congress notes sprinkled in then maybe a basic colonial typeset of coins as a compliment. I think this would make for an interesting presentation that even non coin people could appreciate. What do you recommend for a "basic" typeset?

At the risk of hijacking this thread, my very basic lets-not-get-crazy colonial type-set would include the following:

1 Mass Silver Shilling
1 Bar Cent
1 NJ
1 Connecticut
1 Mass Copper
1 Vermont Landscape
1 Nova Constellatio
1 Washington Large or Small Eagle Cent
1 Fugio

Next in line might be an American Plantation token, Lord Baltimore, Chalmers, etc., etc., etc. Prices start rocketing north at this point.

ccu as per the above an excellent type set ofcolonials and also all really neat scarce historical coins and all great values too

i loved your fugio as i have never seen one that has an even strike with all the obverse design elements visible and with a great pedigree too and also rb

superb

in fact all the fugios photoedon this thread are superb

i think that a tyope set of colonials with the mabest colonial date 1787 would be GREAT SET AND i believe you can get at least 10 different coins colonial coins with the sexy 1787 date

michael

that colonial currency type set is really amazing boiler78 and that cool note you posted is amazing with the fugio coin on it and the date 1776 also amazing condition to boot
