1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-Z, W-6830. Rarity-5-. STATES UNITED, Label With Raised Rims, Large Letters in WE ARE ONE. VF-20 (PCGS).
155.9 grains. A choice and remarkably attractive example of this scarce die pair and Guide Book variety. There are absolutely no problems to note, just even wear on smooth light brown surfaces. The strike was perfectly centered and well balanced; all of the major design elements, date, and legends are bold excepting slight weakness at the upper right reverse label due to die swelling in that area. Not quite as sharp but just as appealing as the recently sold PCGS VF-35 Fricke and PCGS VF-25 Star of Texas examples that realized $3,360 and $3,600 respectively.
