1787 Fugio 1C Club Rays, Rounded Ends, BN MS (PCGS#904)

March 2018 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1787 Fugio Copper. Club Rays. Newman 3-D, W-6680. Rarity-3. Rounded Ends. VF-25 (PCGS). Handsome golden-brown patina with warmer olive-gray outlines to many of the devices. The impression is trivially off center to 3 o'clock, although both sides exhibit bold to sharp definition for most design elements. Softness of strike is minor and confined to a few features in the centers. Minor reverse mark below the E in ONE, a few other well scattered blemishes being too small to warrant individual attention. Newman 3-D is often selected to represent the Club Rays type in early American collections, and this is an original and appealing example at the VF grade level. PCGS# 904. NGC ID: AX5E.
