Description

1787 1C Fugio Cent, New Haven Restrike, Silver MS63 PCGS. Newman 104-FF. Silver examples from these circa-1860 dies are seldom encountered relative to their copper counterparts. The New haven "restrikes" are promptly identified by their narrow rings, and have been collected since the Civil War. Slate-gray at the centers with slightly deeper steel toning near the rims. Satiny, evenly struck, and minimally abraded for the MS63 level. As usual for this variety, the obverse is slightly convex and the right reverse has freckles of die rust, all as made. Certified in a green label holder. Listed on page 84 of the 2008 Guide Book. Population: 3 in 63, 0 finer (4/08).
