<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1787 1C Fugio Cent, UNITED STATES, Cinquefoils AU55 NGC. Pointed Rays. Newman 1-L, R.6. The dies for this variety were hand-engraved and are noticeably different from any other Fugio cent variety. When located, the 1-L is usually in low grades. The Roper coin was only VF and was considered a Condition Census coin when it was sold in 1983. The surfaces have even, medium brown color with some glossiness on the reverse. Sharply defined with good portions of mint luster, the obverse is perfectly centered but the reverse was struck just slightly out of alignment. The only surface defects we see are a few planchet flaws that seem to be inherent on many of the Fugio cents we have seen. Listed on page 63 of the 2003 Guide Book.Ex: St. Louis Stamp & Coin Co., 10/26; Hillyer Ryder; F.C.C. Boyd; John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, (Stack's, 10/03), lot 232. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
