Description du lot

144.6 grains. A very rare major <em>Guide Book</em> variety of Fugio cent with the Concave Ends Club Rays and FUCIO misspelling in the obverse legend. This will be an in-demand example that offers relative affordability for the variety. Originally toned surfaces exhibit warm rose and autumn-brown patina overall, deeper steel-olive engaging some of the design elements and nestled within the shallow flan flaws that drift across both sides. The obverse is trivially off center to 9 o'clock with the border engaging the tops of the letters, reverse better centered. Wear is extensive, as befits the assigned grade, but while we note areas that are more or less devoid of detail, most major design elements are at least partially discernible, and the all-important C in FUCIO is clear even to the unaided eye.
