1787 Fugio Copper. Club Rays. Newman 3-D, W-6680. Rarity-3. Rounded Ends. EF-45 (PCGS). A lovely example with remarkably smooth and hard surfaces that exhibit attractive light chocolate-brown toning. Firmly struck on a planchet that shows no flaws or roughness and the centering is excellent with just a small portion of the first and last letters of BUSINESS off the planchet. This is a top notch representative of the popular Club Rays <em>Guide Book</em> variety. AU examples are quite rare and Mint State survivors virtually unknown. The exceptional eye appeal of this Choice Extremely Fine piece makes it an ideal candidate for a high-end set. From the Pierre Fricke Collection.
