1787 Fugio Copper. Club Rays. Newman 3-D, W-6680. Rarity-3. Rounded Ends. EF-45 (PCGS).

A lovely example with remarkably smooth and hard surfaces that exhibit attractive light chocolate-brown toning. Firmly struck on a planchet that shows no flaws or roughness and the centering is excellent with just a small portion of the first and last letters of BUSINESS off the planchet. This is a top notch representative of the popular Club Rays Guide Book variety. AU examples are quite rare and Mint State survivors virtually unknown. The exceptional eye appeal of this Choice Extremely Fine piece makes it an ideal candidate for a high-end set.

PCGS# 878861.
