1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 10-T, W-6705. Rarity-5. STATES UNITED, 1/Horizontal 1. Fine-12 (PCGS).A pleasing blend of golden-brown and olive-gray patina blankets both sides of this overall boldly defined example. All reverse design elements are fully outlined and readily appreciable, the obverse soft in the center, yet sharper toward the border. Well centered in strike, both sides are a trifle rough, yet free of singularly mentionable blemishes apart from a tiny planchet flaw at the left edge of the sundial and a shallow lamination on the reverse through the left side of the label. The digit 1 in the date is soft, although the all important underdigit is readily evident with the aid of adequate lighting. A scarce and popular <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the Fugio copper, offered here in desirable Fine condition.
