Not covered in PCGS price guide

Dan50

I was checking out the shared submission page and came across this coin someone made.
Problem is I can't find it in the price guide. Noted as a US coin, but where does one go to find out about coins this old?
I'm dumb as a hammer on this coin, and don't even know what the denomination is.
Cert # 08808014
1787...Fugio...Variety...New Haven Res, Brass MS62..

Dan, Its not a dime so who cares!?

Seriously, I have no clue. I think that there are quite a few coins that I couldn't find on the set registry pop report.

Later, Paul.

My point exactly!!!! WHAT is the coin? If I were to spend one, on say a 1-cent item, would I get change?
After all, I don't want to spend my Fugio and get hussled out of my change.
Another thing.. When I go to pay for my item and tell the sales lady, "I'm going to give you a Fugio".
Seems only proper that after she slaps me, I'm able to tell her what a Fugio is.

You guys are a hoot! It is called a cent, but I don't think it was minted by the US mint. It is in the redbook I believe. And the sales lady SHOULD slap you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're going to give her a Fugio? Is that what the kids are calling it these days? You'd probably be surprized at her reaction.
She's probably been dreaming of a good Fugio all day!

The original Fugio cents were struck in 1787, but restrikes were made outside the U.S. Mint; they are commonly referred to as New Haven restrikes, and I believe they were made in the 1860's. The restrikes look more like modern coins than the somewhat crudely made originals. They are well struck, and the planchets are better.
