1787 Fugio Cent 4 Cinquefoil XF Details NGC
Struck in New Haven, Connecticut, the 1787 Fugio Cent is a fascinating window into the early days of the United States. This copper coin carries a unique physical history, as the metal used to strike it was sourced from military stores and salvaged material. This specific piece has been certified as Extra Fine Details, preserving the distinct features of its historic strike. The obverse of the coin features a sundial design accompanied by the word FUGIO and the famous, practical advice, MIND YOUR BUSINESS. This design, created by Benjamin Franklin, is further distinguished by the presence of four cinquefoils and pointed rays. On the reverse, thirteen linked rings form a circle around the central legend WE ARE ONE, symbolizing the unity of the original colonies.
