    Description

    THE PROVENANCE OF THE FUGIO 1/L (R5) BELONGING TO THE AMERICAN HERO, COMMODORE MATTHEW PERRY, ADDS MUCH VALUE TO THE FUGIO WELL BEYOND THE GRADE. HE WAS AN EARLY COLLECTOR AND THE FUGIO COULD HAVE BEEN FOUND IN CIRCULATION. THE ORIGINAL CATALOG (NEAR MINT) WITH PR AND THE ORIGINAL LOT TICKET ARE INCLUDED. A WRITEUP ON THE PERRY COLLECTION SAYS THAT ONE COLLECTOR BOUGHT HALF OF THE COLLECTION. A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE AN INSTANT EXHIBIT ON A HISTORICAL FIGURE THAT WAS A NUMISMATIST. THIS COIN WAS PURCHASED FROM A DEALER POST-AUCTION IN 1995.
    This is the coin you will receive. Free shipping is for the US only. No question 7-day return policy, but buyer pays return shipping. Shipped as a USPS First Class package.
