Not sure if I'd ever sell it but I'm hurting for cash and would consider.

Found this yesterday in a church yard.

1787 fugio cent

The coin has plenty of wear. Most text can be made out. Some clearly.
 

Got a pic of the other side? Values are all over the place in these. Anywhere from $300 to $4000, retail price, for the worst shape ones.

You could probably sell that one for $100 to $1500, depending on which one it is. Uncleaned, of course.
 

It depends on how bad the corrosion is and the variety. I bought a nicer one of common variety at a coin show recently for $60. No matter the value a Fugio is a great find. The first regular issue coin of the United States, can't get much better than that!
 

I think I'll hold onto it since it's such a special find. Thanks.
