Lot Description

1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 18-H, W-6950. Rarity-4. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. EF-40 (PCGS). 154.3 grains. A remarkably nice example of this die variety that is on par with the best that we have offered for sale in recent memory. Satiny smooth light brown surfaces with no roughness or significant marks or flaws. A late die state of an already well used die pair, with some strike weakness and indistinct detail as a result, but the centering is excellent and overall definition about as good as could be hoped for. A keeper for the die variety collector. Provenance: From our sale of the Star of Texas Collection, Spring 2022 Auction, lot 1292. PCGS# 889. NGC ID: 2B8F.
