1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 16-N, W-6925. Rarity-3. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. VG-8.136.1 grains. Chocolate brown with darker patina in the protected areas. Softly struck on the obverse and nearly worn smooth save for the date and the lower legend. The reverse retains definition to the major motifs, though STATES UNITED is virtually worn away and WE ARE ONE is missing the most central letters. The strike is drawn towards 9 oclock on that side, pulling the leftmost rings tight to the rim. A pair of diagnostic cracks at 2 and 7 oclock are readily discernible, allowing easy attribution of reverse N.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
