Description

A Club Rays Fugio cent with abbreviated "United States" (Uni. Sta.) legend and a concave or dish-shaped reverse. Like its "St. Uni." counterpart, the concave reverse profile is an unusual die characteristic. The Club Rays obverse with blunt sundial rays distinguishes this from the more common Pointed Rays issues.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. Concave reverse with Club Rays is an unusual combination.
