1787 Fugio 1C 8 Pointed Stars, BN MS (PCGS#898)

Spring 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 15-Y, W-6915. Rarity-2. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils, 8-Pointed Stars on Label. AU-55 (PCGS). 159.4 grains. Glossy deep copper surfaces are richly and evenly toned. Prominent flan flaw on obverse at about 9 o'clock and on the reverse at about the same position. Obverse clearly struck after some examples of Newman 15-V of which are aware, but earlier than some 15-Hs. 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. Provenance: From our (Bowers and Merena's) sale of the Norweb Collection, Part III, November 1988, lot 3544. PCGS# 898. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
