Coin Details
Description
A fantasy piece associated with Charles Ira Bushnell, the prominent 19th-century collector and author of "An Arrangement of Tradesmen's Cards, Political Tokens, &c." This copper piece is not an official Fugio cent but rather a collector-made piece from the 1860s that draws on Fugio cent design elements. Bushnell fantasies are collected as numismatic curiosities and 19th-century Americana.
Rarity Notes
Very rare collector fantasy piece from the 1860s.
