- 1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 15-Y, W-6915, STATES UNITED, 8-Pointed Stars on Label. AU-50 BN (PCGS). The pale pinkish color across this AU example is accented by darker patina around the devices in most areas. Flaws in the planchet are visible on both sides but remain largely confined to the peripheries. Softly struck at the borders but nicely centered. Although not a scarce die marriage in an absolute sense, Newman 15-Y is elusive with the quality offered here, the distinct 8-Pointed Stars on Label variety guaranteeing that demand remains strong at all levels of preservation. PCGS# 898. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
