    Dear friends,
    I can't say enough about the beauty of these repros! They are, ahem, dripping with luster! Hey, I do not like those kinds of descriptions of coins, but these are something special!

    A dealer I know picked up 2 fugio cents and I don't know where to find a price guide on them or tips on how to grade them.

    To my knowledge, there are no standards published for Fugios. I use old auction catalogs and many years of coin show experience to grade them. And Grade is a very loose term. Fugios come on bad blanks (sometimes cracked prior to striking) are occasionally weakly struck and in short suffer from all the problems of colonial US coins. This effects value more than grade.

    Sorry I don't have the issue you are looking for, but I had to comment on your username of Fugio Collector. Do you have any Fugio's for sale or any to show us? If so please post a link with some images. (I'm still searching for a Fugio) Thanks.
