1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 18-U, W-6960. Rarity-4. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. VF-30 (PCGS). Handsome medium brown patina with outlines of olive-gray to most of the design elements. The strike is well centered with nearly complete denticulation that wanes appreciably only at the upper obverse and lower reverse borders. Well defined overall and pleasingly smooth in hand, a tiny scrape at the upper right obverse border and faint spot within the ring at 4 oclock on the reverse are the only singularly mentionable blemishes. All in all, this is a glossy and highly appealing mid grade example of a scarcer Fugio copper variety. Newman Die State B/C.
