1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 13-X, W-6855. Rarity-2. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. AU-58+ (PCGS).157.9 grains. An exceptional near-Mint specimen with uniform chocolate brown coloration throughout. The surfaces are evenly blanketed in satiny luster, imparting a delicate and pearlescent sheen across each side. Natural flaws in the planchet are scattered throughout, with the most concentrated striations at the lower right obverse and at the O of ONE on the reverse. Slightly soft in the peripheries but sharp at center, with barely any trace of friction across the high points. Clash marks on the obverse and die cracks through the reverse rings make this an exciting example to examine in-hand.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
