Lot Description

1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 16-H, W-6920. Rarity-5. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. VF-25 (PCGS). 170.0 grains. A delightful olive-brown example with darker patina surrounding the design elements. The surfaces are overall hard and tight, with just a trace of natural planchet roughness in the obverse peripheries. A dramatic die break from the lower reverse rim causes a trivial softness at the corresponding obverse area, though this is typical for the variety and only minimally present here. Nicely centered and bold, with a lovely glossy complexion in-hand. Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68. PCGS# 889. NGC ID: 2B8F.
