Description

A reverse hub impression in lead, cataloged as Newman DD. Hub impressions differ from die impressions in that they are made from the master hub rather than a working die. The soft lead captured fine details from the hub, creating an important record of the original design elements before they were transferred to working dies. Newman DD identifies this specific hub within the Fugio cent production sequence.

Rarity Notes

Extremely rare. Lead hub impressions are among the rarest Fugio-related pieces.
