Fugio Copper

1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 18-U, W-6960. Rarity-4. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. EF-45 (PCGS).

163.0 grains. Superior quality and aesthetic appeal for this scarce Fugio variety. Pleasing light brown surfaces and a strike that is both evenly and firmly impressed as well as just about perfectly centered, such that the borders are nearly complete around both sides. No mentionable defects, just a few tiny planchet flaws. The condition census for this variety consists mostly of AU examples, and it's doubtful that any true Mint State coins exist. This excellent Choice Extremely Fine piece would make a great selection for a high quality set.

PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E.

From the Norman G. Peters Collection.

Estimate: 1500
