1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 19-M, W-6970. Rarity-6. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. EF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).

Medium brown with some darker areas, mostly at the bases of obverse and reverse. Finely granular throughout, a bit rougher in those dark areas, but retaining excellent sharpness on both sides. All numerals on the sundial are present at least in part, which along with its respectable surface quality places it ahead of most examples of this rare variety offered in recent memory. Late die state, with heavy clashing visible on the reverse. Struck medal turn as is characteristic of the variety.

PCGS# 878112.
