- 1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 20-X, W-7000. Rarity-5. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. Fine-15 (PCGS).
148.3 grains. This is a beautiful example with warm chocolate brown coloration. The obverse is uniformly bold and well centered, with subtle evidence of clashing behind FUGIO and the date. Traces of natural planchet texture show in the peripheries, with a narrow striation visible below the O of FUGIO. Similar planchet texture shows at the upper reverse border, though this fails to obscure any deign elements. The reverse is nearly smooth, but all motifs remain discernible. An attractive and glossy piece lacking in notable abrasions. The frequently used Reverse X was coupled with seven different obverses during the life of the design type and this is among the scarcer of the known marriages. Seldom encountered this fine and rarely without problems.
Provenance: From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E.
