1787 Fugio Cent, MS64 Red and Brown
STATES UNITED, Pointed Rays

Newman 12-X

1787 1C Fugio Cent, STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils, Pointed Rays MS64 Red and Brown NGC. N. 12-X, W-6820, R.3. Substantial orange-red fills the borders. The centers have mellowed to lilac and steel-gray. Lustrous and devoid of abrasions. From a superior quality planchet, although inconsequential flaws are evident on the left reverse. The strike is even, and the only spot is minor and found on the sundial base above the YO in YOUR. Two straight die cracks partially frame the sun face. Struck a few degrees off center toward 5 o'clock, though only dentils and the bottom of the SS in BUSINESS are affected. Likely from the Bank of New York holdings, given the high grade and the familiar vertical reverse crack at 6 o'clock. Listed on page 87 of the 2014 Guide Book.
From The Old New England Collection.
