Description
1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 15-H, W-6890. Rarity-4. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. EF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).
147.8 grains. Dark brown, verging on steel-black in color. The surfaces appear granular, although given the color of the piece, not disturbingly so. There is some light roughness around the obverse periphery, portions of BUSINESS are indistinct, as usual, and there is a small cluster of flaws at the upper right near the border. On the reverse, the rings at right are rough and betray traces of an old corrosion. Struck from the usually seen broken state of the obverse; reverse apparently perfect, although its surface condition does not lend confidence to determinations about its exact die state.
PCGS# 878120. NGC ID: 2B8F.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex F.C.C. Boyd estate; John J. Ford, Jr.; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part I, October 2003 lot 291.
