1787 Fugio 1C Newman 10-G, 1 Over Horiz. 1 United States, BN MS (PCGS#878085)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 10-G, W-6700. Rarity-5. UNITED STATES, 1/Horizontal 1. Good-4 (PCGS). A scarce and popular variety of Fugio cent showing the first 1 of the date punched over an erroneously placed horizontal 1. Both versions of this variety, one with a STATES UNITED reverse (Newman 10-T and 10-OO) and one with a UNITED STATES reverse (Newman 10-G as offered here), are quite scarce and difficult to find problem-free. This lower grade example has decent light brown surfaces. There are a few scratches at the sun face, but overall this is a pleasing and well balanced coin for the grade. The 1/Horizontal 1 feature is weak but visible. Provenance: From the Star of Texas Collection. PCGS# 878085. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
