1787 Fugio Cent - Cross After Date Raised Rims

Coin Details

Description

A Fugio cent variety featuring a small cross (or plus sign) punched after the date "1787" on the obverse, combined with raised rims. The cross after date is a distinctive die marker that helps identify specific die combinations. The raised rims suggest this coin was struck with a different collar setup than flat-rim issues, creating more pronounced border definition.
