1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-M, W-6800. Rarity-3. STATES

1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-M, W-6800. Rarity-3. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. EF-45 (PCGS). Newman Die State B/D, the reverse heavily clashed through the rings at top. About as nice as one could hope to find in a Fugio in certified Choice EF, this is a great coin to represent either the STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils Guide Book variety or Newman 12-M dies. Both sides are warmly and evenly toned, the obverse in chestnut brown, the reverse in a blend of olive and walnut brown. The surfaces are hard and tight with a soft satin texture overall. A thin, faint planchet fissure at the upper right reverse border is mentioned solely for accuracy, there being really no distractions of either a pre- or post-strike nature to inhibit the eye appeal. Obverse impression a bit tight to upper right, reverse similarly aligned to 3 o'clock, but while there is consequent loss of border detail in these and adjacent areas, the overall design on both sides is nearly complete and universally bold at the assigned grade level. A lovely piece worthy of strong bids. Provenance: From the Emerald Coast Collection. PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
