Lot Description

1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 7-T, W-6735. Rarity-4. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. VF-35 (NGC). A lovely example, finer than most known for this scarcer variety. Handsome golden-copper surfaces with the impression slightly off center, the lower obverse and upper reverse borders through the design elements in those areas. Glossy in texture and overall smooth even despite the presence of a few thin flan flaws on both sides. This is one of the nicest Newman 7-Ts that we have offered in recent memory, and it is sure to catch the eye of astute Fugio copper collectors. PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E. Provenance: Collector envelope included.
