Description

1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 1-Z, W-6610. Rarity-6+. Obverse Cross After Date, No Cinquefoils, Reverse Label with Raised Rims. Fair-2 (PCGS).

Heavily worn, yes, but retaining enough detail to confirm this rare and challenging Newman number. This is easier on the reverse, where all rings are discernible, WE ARE ONE partially legible, and enough of the label clear to see not only the raised rims, but some of the letters in STATES UNITED. The obverse is weaker with the central motifs only partially outlined and little of the peripheral detail remaining, although the 178 in the date are bold, all-important cross discernible with patience, portions of MIND YOUR BUSINESS clear. Originally toned in a blend of autumn and olive-brown, reverse with a few well scattered pits, surfaces with some good gloss and no marks of consequence.

PCGS# 877. NGC ID: B8B4.
