1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 19-Z, W-6975. Rarity-5. STATES UNITED, Label With Raised Rims, Large Letters in WE ARE ONE. VF-25 (PCGS).

A refreshingly wholesome mid-grade example of this popular major variety with the raised rims on the reverse label and the hand-engraved letters of WE ARE ONE. Softly struck at the top and bottom of each side, a strike quality not uncommon for the variety, but absolutely choice as far as surface and color goes. Nicely centered so that even though some of the detail is lost to the weak strike, the overall appearance is still fairly well balanced. The sundial, date, and FUGIO are quite bold and a majority of the central reverse is clear.

PCGS# 878518.
