1787 Fugio Copper. Club Rays. Newman 2-C, W-6630. Rarity-6. Concave Ends, FUCIO, UNITED STATES. Good-6 BN (NGC).

Deep charcoal surfaces with light glossiness overall, both sides smooth in hand with no significant marks. All major design elements on the reverse are clear enough to confirm the die. For the obverse, and although the word FUCIO is faint with the all important C obscured, enough of the other features are present to further confirm the attribution. This rare Fugio die variety certainly is of great importance regardless of condition, as it is the only die variety using this FUCIO obverse, and is one of only six such varieties that exhibit concave end, club rays. Furthermore, all of the other concave end, club ray varieties are even rarer than the variety offered here!

PCGS# 907.
