1787 Fugio Cent. Club Rays. Newman 5-F, W-6640. Rarity-7-. Concave Ends, UNITED STATES. VF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).

164.0 grains. An exciting, long off the market example of this elusive major variety. Black and tan surfaces have an underlying grainy roughness in the fields while the devices are smooth and display nicely. Solid VF detail, the all-important Concave End Club Rays are bold as is the G in FUGIO that defines the Guide Book variety. The vast majority of the rest of the major detail is clear and there are no marks or planchet flaws to disrupt the overall respectable appearance. The Club Rays, Concave Ends, FUGIO, UNITED STATES variety is represented by three different die combinations, 25-PP is unique, 5-HH is represented by just 6 extant examples, and 10 are known of the most common 5-F combination. Taken together, a mere 17 specimens are known for this entire Guide Book listed variety required by all collecting Colonial or early Federal coins by major varieties. We recommend interested collectors take full advantage of the present offering as the elusiveness of this variety should not be underestimated.
