Lot 84
1787 Fugio Cent with Pointed Rays and STATES UNITED Newman 13-X Rarity-2. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lustrous light chocolate brown and steel with traces of original mint red showing on both sides, especially on the reverse. The planchet is nice for a Fugio Cent but it is not quite perfect. The imperfections are a thin area over FUGI and a small planchet chip out of the ring at the bottom of the reverse. No stains, spots, or contact marks. 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. Listed on page 87 in the "Redbook." Weight 167.7 grains.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
