1787 N. 2-C 'FUCIO' Cent, XF40
The Stickney-Ford Specimen

1787 FUGIO Fugio Cent, Club Rays, Concave Ends, FUCIO, XF40 PCGS. N. 2-C, W-6630, R.6. One of the rarities in the Fugio cent series, this pleasing XF example has excellent design definition and attractive light olive-brown surfaces that are mostly mark-free, with a splash of dark steel toning at the lower left reverse. This Club Rays Fugio cent, with concave ends to the rays, exhibits the incorrect FUCIO spelling on the obverse. This is the only collectible variety of the FUCIO type. One other variety is known of this type, N. 23-ZZ, and it is extremely rare with only two or three pieces known. Listed on page 90 of the 2020 Guide Book.
