Description
Important 1787 Fugio Cross After Date Rarity
1787 1C Fugio Cent, STATES UNITED, No Cinquefoils AU55 NGC. Pointed Rays, Cross After Date. Newman 1-L, R.6. The dies for this variety were hand-engraved and are noticeably different from any other Fugio cent variety. When located, the 1-L is usually in low grades. The Roper coin was only VF and was considered a Condition Census coin when it was sold in 1983. The surfaces have even, medium brown color with some glossiness on the reverse. Sharply defined with good portions of mint luster, the obverse is perfectly centered but the reverse was struck just slightly out of alignment. The only surface defects we see are a few planchet flaws that seem to be inherent on many of the Fugio cents we have seen. This example is from the Hillyer Ryder Collection. Listed on page 63 of the 2004 Guide Book.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2B8C, PCGS# 874, GSID# 182)
