Lot Description

Outstanding 1787 Fugio Type Example 1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 8-B, W-6740. Rarity-2. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-63 BN (PCGS). 134.0 grains. An attractive Choice Mint State piece with fresh, original surfaces that exhibit strong cartwheel luster and traces of mint red on each side. Nicely centered on a reasonably good quality planchet showing no significant flaws, just some light streaks on the obverse and small flaw at the upper reverse rim. Boldly struck everywhere save for the extreme lower right obverse border and opposing reverse. All of the important detail except for the last two letters of BUSINESS is bold and as is often the case with Newman 8-B, the definition on the sun face and sun dial is especially intricate and sharp, making this variety an excellent choice for type collectors. Provenance: From the Star of Texas Collection. PCGS# 889. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
