1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 7-T, W-6735. Rarity-4. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. VF-20, Wavy Planchet.139.4 grains. A bold example of this scarce variety with a trivial bend to the planchet that travels down the vertical axis. The chocolate brown surfaces are accompanied by dark licorice-black and crimson patina lurking in the protected regions throughout. This patina displays a somewhat granular texture under magnification though the complexion is smooth and lightly glossed in-hand. Nicely centered and uniformly bold, without any distracting blemishes to note.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
