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-25 (PCGS).
151.5 grains. Noteworthy grade and quality for this scarce Raised Rims variety, even the finest known examples of which just barely make EF. This piece is predominantly a pleasing and glossy medium brown with some darker olive and maroon patina in the fields, mostly on the reverse. There are no marks or planchet flaws of any consequence and the strike is well centered and bold for the variety with better than average definition at the important and often weak central reverse. Medal turn as usual.
PCGS# 878500. NGC ID: B7VH.
