1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-X, W-6820. Rarity-3. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. AU-58 (PCGS). Frosty medium brown surfaces with full cartwheel luster glowing across each side. Slight weakness of strike at the left side of the coin apparently caused the conservative AU-58 assessment from PCGS. This coin is most likely from the Bank of New York Hoard and never circulated. It certainly shows nothing that could be called wear and no other signs of handling. Nicely centered on a high quality planchet with no flaws or roughness. Overall an appealing high grade example with excellent color and luster. From the Pierre Fricke Collection. Purchased from Anthony Terranova in 2009.
