Norweb's Silver New Haven Restrike
1787 Fugio Cent, MS63

1787 1C Fugio Cent, New Haven Restrike, Silver MS63 NGC. Dies of Newman 104-FF, but struck in silver instead of the usual copper. Probably struck prior to the copper pieces, since there are no die cracks along the left obverse. Die rust is nonetheless present on the lower right reverse field, as is typical for this circa-1860 production. Well struck and unabraded with satin luster and deep golden-brown toning. Listed on page 84 of the 2009 Guide Book. The finest of three examples certified by NGC (11/08).
Ex: Purchased by Emery May Holden Norweb from J.C. Morgenthau on 10/11/1935; Norweb Collection, Part III (Bowers and Merena, 11/1988), lot 3566.
From The Deb-Ann Collection.
