Description

A Club Rays Fugio cent with abbreviated "States United" (St. Uni.) legend and a concave or dish-shaped reverse. The concave reverse profile is an unusual die characteristic, resulting from die wear or a manufacturing anomaly. Combined with the Club Rays obverse and the abbreviated States United legend, this represents a scarce and distinctive die combination.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. The concave reverse is an unusual feature.
