Description: "This coin was issued by authority of Congress in 1787. It is generally known as the (Ben) Franklin cent, but should properly called the Rittenhouse Cent, if named after any individual...It was first coined in the city of New York. A number of sets of dies were made, and the piece was subsequently coined not merely in New York, but also New Haven, Connecticut, Rupert, Vermont, and other places. The dies were made by Abel Buel, of New Haven, and the coins were struck by means of a drop press." Fugios were the earliest coins issued by the authority of the United States. NGC has graded one higher than XF and PCGS graded 11 at or higher than XF. It's rare! PCGS XF40 price is $7,500 and a VF35 at $6000 and a VF30 at $4750 We are pricing this coin as if it was a VF30! In 2014 an AU55 sold for $25,850
