1787 Fugio Cent, Glossy MS66 Brown
N. 13-X, Four Cinquefoils
STATES UNITED, Pointed Rays
1787 CENT Fugio Cent, STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils, Pointed
Rays, MS66 Brown NGC. N. 13-X, W-6855, R.2. The Bank of
New York hoard yielded more than 700 examples of Newman-13-X Fugio
cents -- some in high grades -- although at the Premium Gem level
no Fugio cent is readily available, regardless of variety. This
example exhibits glossy, reddish-brown surfaces struck from clashed
dies as usually seen. Satin luster glistens from both sides, with a
slender radial die crack on the reverse extending upward just to
the right of 6 o'clock. Sharply struck centers show only nominal
weakness at the lower obverse and upper reverse dentils. The coin
is exceptionally free of marks and abrasions, struck on a good
planchet, and shows minimal Mint-made defects on the smooth, hard
flan. Listed on page 99 of the 2019 Guide Book. Census: 4 in
66 Brown, 0 finer (8/18).Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.

Truth Seeker: The Life of Eric P. Newman (softcover)
A powerful and intimidating dealer of the 1960s, backed by important colleagues, was accused of selling fraudulent gold coins and ingots to unsuspecting numismatists. Who would go up against a man like that and, over the course of decades, prove the fraud? Who would expose a widely respected scholar as a thief, then doggedly pursue recovery of coins that the scholar had stolen from an embarrassed numismatic organization, all over the objections of influential collectors who had bought coins with clouded titles? Eric P. Newman would - and did. Reserve your copy today.
