Description
1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-X, W-6820. Rarity-2. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-61 BN (PCGS).
Fairly well centered in strike, although an ovoid planchet has resulted in irregular detail around the peripheries. All major design elements are at least partially discernible, however, and those in the centers are sharp. Minor flan flaws at lower left obverse, on the reverse label at the letter E in STATES, and some original planchet texture along the left obverse and reverse borders are all as made. There are no post-production blemishes of note, the surfaces attractively toned in gray-brown with faint traces of faded rose-red mint color. While Newman 12-X is among the most common Fugio varieties in high grade, second only to 13-X, and several hundred were among the Bank of New York's hoard, few BU examples that we have handled over the years offer this level of quality and visual appeal.
PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E.
