1787 4Cinq P.R.Fugio 1C United States NGC 62 BN Nearly Choice. Brown. Well struck. Pleasing surfaces. The Continental Congress of the Confederation passed a resolution on April 21, 1787, for the contract coining of a national copper cent. About two and a half months later they agreed on a design. A resolution of July 6th stated the penny obverse would have the sun and a sundial with the legend 'FUGIO' (I fly), the date, and the legend 'MIND YOUR BUSINESS.' The reverse would contain thirteen linked circles with the legends 'WE ARE ONE' and 'UNITED STATES.' This copied the February 17, 1776, fractional currency and the 1776 Continental Currency 'Dollar'. Only about 400,000 Fugio cents were minted, which was about four tons out of the 300 tons of coppers that had been contracted for coining. These coins were sent to the U.S. Treasury on May 21, 1788. NGC has certified seven coins at this level with 15 finer.
1792 Let Edge Kentucky-Lancaster NGC 53 BN Well struck with some wear on the highest points of the devices. This undated token is thought to commemorate the admission of Kentucky to the nation, and thus is thought to have been produced around the time of admission of Kentucky as the fifteenth state in 1792 but before 1796 when Tennessee was admitted. Breen suggests the Kentucky tokens were popular and circulated throughout the American states, but gives no evidence for this statement. - Breen, pages 128-130.

ND Auctori Plebis Uniface Obv NGC 35 BN Breen-1152 What is known about this unusual token, is that the obverse is quite similar to a bust left Connecticut copper, especially the 1787 coppers minted by Jarvis and Company in New Haven. Were the token to have a reverse, it would have been intended for circulation in America as the legends: AUCTORI PLEBIS (By the authority of the people) and INDEP ET LIBER (Independence and Liberty) are typically anti-royalist; however, the figure of Liberty on the reverse (not on this token) is clearly based on Seated Britannia, resting her right arm on an anchor and her left on a globe, with the crowned English lion resting at her feet. Consulted references suggest the token may be of American origin, while Breen considers it to be from Birmingham. Breen-1152.
