1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 1-B, W-6600. Rarity-4. Cross After Date, No Cinquefoils, UNITED STATES. VF-35 (PCGS).,This is a very high quality example of a major type in the Fugio copper series. Predominantly orange-brown surfaces are pleasingly glossy in appearance with no significant marks. Mottled crimson-russet highlights are noted, many of which are associated with areas of light pitting and/or surface scale. A pair of prominent planchet flaws near the upper reverse border is noted. The strike is well centered on the reverse, yet off center to the upper obverse with the border through the top of the sun. All major devices are clear, however, and the overall design is fully appreciable. Newman 1-B is the most available variety of the historically significant Cross After Date Fugio coppers, although the supply of attractive examples is extremely limited relative to the combined demand from type collectors and variety specialists. A significant offering that is sure to see spirited bidding at auction.,PCGS# 880. NGC ID: 2B8D.,,
