Description
1787 N. 10-T Fugio Cent, XF40
1 Over Horizontal 1 Blunder
STATES UNITED
1787 Fugio Cent, STATES UNITED, 1/Horizontal 1, N. 10-T, W-6705,
R.5, XF40 PCGS. CAC. On the Newman-10 Fugio die, an
absent-minded diesinker entered the 1 in the date horizontally. The
error was noticed, and the 1 was subsequently correctly entered,
but no attempt was made to diminish the horizontal 1. The blunder
exists in two scarce Guide Book varieties, paired with
STATES UNITED and UNITED STATES reverses. None are known above
AU55. The present XF40 example was struck from out-of-parallel
dies, with the strike much sharper on the lower left obverse than
on the upper right obverse. Actual circulation wear is less than
implied by the XF40 grade. Listed on page 84 of the 2024 Guide
Book. Population: 4 in 40, 7 finer (7/23).From The James E. Blake Collection of United States Colonial Coins & Tokens.
