Description

The standard "States United" variety of the 1787 Fugio cent, where the reverse legend reads "STATES UNITED" instead of "UNITED STATES." This legend order distinction is one of the primary ways Fugio cents are classified. The "States United" reverse type was produced from multiple die marriages and represents a significant portion of known Fugio cent production.
