Description

A New Haven restrike of the Fugio cent struck in silver. Produced circa 1858-1860s alongside copper and brass restrikes, the silver version is notably scarcer. The silver composition gives these pieces a distinctive bright appearance compared to the copper originals. Silver New Haven restrikes are highly prized by colonial coin specialists.
