1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 1-L, W-6605. Rarity-5. Obverse Cross After Date, No Cinquefoils, STATES UNITED. Fine Details--Damage (PCGS). 168.0 grains. A challenging variety, several times scarcer than its already scarce Newman 1-B, UNITED STATES reverse counterpart. Despite some light scratches and uneven coloration from an old cleaning, this is a respectable specimen that clearly displays a good majority of the legends and design motifs, including an especially bold date and cross. Depressions at the obverse borders are natural planchet voids. From the Norman G. Peters Collection.
