1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 8-B, W-6740. Rarity-3. UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils. AU-50 (PCGS). 161.0 grains. An impressive Near Mint survivor sporting a strong, well centered strike. Boldly defined detail throughout save for modest strike weakness at the lower left obverse border and opposing reverse. Deep reddish-brown surfaces that are well preserved and free from marks, roughness, and planchet flaws. Both sides retain subtle traces of mint frost. An appealing example of the UNITED STATES <em>Red Book </em>variety or overall Fugio type. From the Norman G. Peters Collection.
