MORE ON THE BANK OF NEW YORK FUGIO CENT HOARD

Bank of New York Fugio Cent bag 1 A Pirate's Pile of Fugios: Follow Up on the Bank of New York Fugio Cent Hoard

The Eric P. Newman research files constantly reveal pleasant surprises, such as this February 1977 issue of Bank One, a tabloid-size newspaper published for the staff of the Bank of New York. Such publications, intended for company-internal distribution only, were generally not saved and are elusive. This issue includes two attention-grabbing images depicting piles of Fugio cents. Clearly the coins were not handled with state of the art museum practices, but the allure of a large pile of highly collectible colonial coins is captivating.
