1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 9-Q, W-6760. Rarity-5. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. EF-40 (PCGS). A noteworthy specimen of this scarce and conditionally challenging variety. A definite contender for the Condition Census for Newman 9-Q, the only finer example to appear at auction in recent memory was the AU Kessler-Ayers coin we sold in August of 2013. This is an attractive light brown piece with strong definition through. Struck slightly off center but hardly any of the detail is lost. Just a few small planchet flaws on each side and overall above average in all respects. Outstanding quality for the die pair and a real find for the advanced Fugio collector. From the Pierre Fricke Collection. Purchased from Anthony Terranova in 2011.
