What might my newly found coin be worth?

[SilverSleuth]

Not sure if I'd ever sell it but I'm hurting for cash and would consider.

Found this yesterday in a church yard.

1787 fugio cent

camera stinks

The coin has plenty of wear. Most text can be made out. Some clearly.

Got a pic of the other side? Values are all over the place in these. Anywhere from $300 to $4000, retail price, for the worst shape ones.

You could probably sell that one for $100 to $1500, depending on which one it is. Uncleaned, of course.

Unfortunately I did clean it with some noxon. There is a not so good pic of the back here.

Thanks

There are over a dozen varieties of this coin--so clear pics of both sides would held with the ID.

It depends on how bad the corrosion is and the variety. I bought a nicer one of common variety at a coin show recently for $60. No matter the value a Fugio is a great find. The first regular issue coin of the United States, can't get much better than that!

I think I'll hold onto it since it's such a special find. Thanks.
