Lot 102
1787 Fugio Cent. New Haven restrike in brassy copper. . Newman 104-FF. PCGS graded MS-62 Red & Brown. Frosty light golden brown with a very brassy look, although the PCGS label says "copper." Lustrous bright golden tan covers the protected areas, and this appears to be original mint color. No defects of any kind, and the assigned grade appears rather harsh given the excellent luster and eye appeal. Earlier die state, free of any obverse die cracks but showing some fine die rust on both sides. Another very attractive example of this popular 1860's era restrike (see page 84 of the "Redbook.").
Estimated Value $200 - 400.
