Lot Description

1787 Fugio Cent. Club Rays. Newman 3-D, W-6680. Rarity-2. Rounded Ends. VF-30 (PCGS). A highly attractive mid-grade example of a Club Rays Fugio cent. Glossy surfaces with striking two-tone coloration of dark olive fields and tan devices. A strong, well centered strike adds further to the impressive visual appeal. The entirety of the major design elements are displayed boldly with just a bit of weakness at the first and last letters of BUSINESS. A predominantly smooth and high quality planchet that shows just trace porosity in a few places under a glass and a trivial planchet flaw on the reverse. A charming piece with much to recommend it as an example of this popular type. PCGS# 904. NGC ID: AX5E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
