Description du lot

1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 1-B, W-6600. Rarity-4. Obverse Cross After Date, No Cinquefoils, UNITED STATES. VF-35 (PCGS). 161.8 grains. Deep golden-tan with a solid naked eye appearance. Struck from heavily clashed dies. Surfaces exhibit some natural flaws, none of them overly apparent, and a few tiny contact marks come to light under low magnification. Still, an amply pleasing example of this popular and somewhat elusive variety. The only obverse in the series with a cross after the date instead of the usual cinquefoil, and a must-have for a type set of Fugio coppers.
