Fugio Copper

1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 1-B, W-6600. Rarity-4. Obverse Cross After Date, No Cinquefoils, UNITED STATES. VF Details--Scratch (PCGS).

138.4 grains. A decent example of this popular and significant variety, featuring the same obverse die used for the famous AMERICAN CONGRESS pattern variety, Newman 1-CC. Considerable sharpness remains on fairly smooth surfaces. Patina a mix of tan-brown, dark olive, and brick-red. A thin scratch across the left-side sun rays explains the PCGS qualifier, but is a minor defect.

PCGS# 874. NGC ID: 2B8C.

From the Norman G. Peters Collection.
