1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 14-O, W-6875. Rarity-4. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils--Counterstamped "W"--Good-4 Details--Corroded (ANACS).A possibly unique specimen exhibiting a counterstamp of the letter "W" with a large period to each side on the reverse. The Fugio host coin has been struck in medal orientation, leaving the stamp inverted and tilted downward in relation to the reverse alignment. What remains of this stamp is likely only part of a larger stamp, though we have been unable to confidently identify an original issuer. The surfaces are microgranular but give a slightly glossy complexion, and each side features a nature planchet void near the rim. Heavily though evenly worn, with the focal devices still evident and displaying a blend of brown, walnut, and crimson shades. An intriguing mark on a scarce variety that certainly demands further study.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
