Description
1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 18-H, W-6950. Rarity-4. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. VF-35 (PCGS).
162.6 grains. Dark chestnut brown and glossy, with the high points worn to a pleasant light tan hue. Glossy and attractive, with a minimal number of minuscule planchet flaws, chiefly along the rims on both sides. Struck from the late and failing states of both sides, showing die cracks, spalling, advanced die wear, and clashing, described as Newman D/C, lending this coin the look of more advanced wear than there actually is. A choice piece for a choice cabinet.
PCGS# 878411.
