1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 8-X, W-6750. Rarity-3. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-64 BN (NGC).This gorgeous near-Gem is boldly and originally toned in glossy copper-brown patina. Satiny in texture, both sides are smooth apart from trivial planchet pits (as made) that are easily forgiven. The strike is off center to the right obverse and reverse borders, but only the denticulation is affected and most devices are boldly to sharply defined. One of the more popular die marriages of the Fugio copper for high quality type purposes, 189 examples of Newman 8-X remained in the Bank of New York hoard in 1948. Sure to please!
