Description
1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 13-X, W-6855. Rarity-1. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC.
A beautiful, frosty example with a smooth texture and good gloss to both sides. The strike is well centered and, apart from a touch of characteristic softness in the obverse exergue, the detail is sharp to full throughout the design. Color is lovely, as well, with warm copper-brown patina overall. A few trivial planchet imperfections within the rings at lower left reverse are as made and easily overlooked. With 726 examples remaining in the Bank of New York Hoard as of 1948, Newman 13-X is one of the most readily obtainable die marriages of the Fugio cent and is an ideal variety for type collecting purposes.
PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E.
From the Windy City Collection. Purchased from Early American Numismatics, March 20, 1991.
Estimate: $4000
