1787' Fugio Cent - Uniface Restrike Over Struck
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
A uniface restrike of the Fugio cent struck over a previously struck coin. The overstrike creates traces of the underlying host coin visible beneath the Fugio design. Uniface restrikes show only one side of the Fugio design, either obverse or reverse. This piece demonstrates the practice of using available planchets, including previously struck coins, for restrike production.
Rarity Notes
Very rare. Overstrikes on previously struck coins are particularly interesting.
