1787 Fugio Cent Newman 13-X Rarity-2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. CAC Approved. A STATES UNITED type with 4 Cinquefoils. Frosty dark bluish steel brown and chocolate with traces of faded mint color remaining visible on both sides. Smooth and attractive, free of any of the usually seen planchet flaws except for an incipient planchet clip that affects the rim left of the base of the sundial. The strike is a bit uneven but the date is bold. Both dies are worn and cracked, each having been employed in several different marriages prior to this final 13-X mating. Chances are good this piece was part of the famous Bank of New York Hoard that was dispersed long ago. A premium example of one of the most famous early American coins. See pages 86-88 in the "Redbook."
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.
