1787 FUGIO CENT - 
NEWMAN 25-PP

Rarity: Unique

Variety equivalents: None (unlisted in Newman and Kessler)

Notes:
This was the only use of the obverse die.  Note the odd shape of the letters S in "BUSINESS".

This was the only use of the reverse die.  The W and the E of "WE" are farther apart than on any other Fugio Cent variety.
