Lot 83
1787 Fugio Cent with Pointed Rays and STATES UNITED Newman 13-X Rarity-2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. CAC Approved. Choice lustrous light chocolate brown with subtle overtones of light bluish steel. Peeps of faded mint red remain visible on the obverse. No spots, stains, or contact marks. The only defects are a few of the usual tiny planchet flakes scattered over both sides in addition to a tiny planchet void at the rim right of the date and a couple thin striations at the top of the reverse. Well above average for the variety in terms of planchet quality. Struck very slightly off center to K-9. Most likely from the Bank of New York hoard discovered in 1856. Of the 1641 Fugio Cents found in that hoard, 726 of them were of the Newman 13-X die variety. A very nice Fugio Cent, perfect for a high-quality type set. Pop 136; 94 finer .
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
