1787 Fugio 1C States United, 4 Cinq., RB MS (PCGS#884)

March 2021 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-X, W-6820. Rarity-3. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-62 RB (PCGS). OGH. A particularly appealing example of the type and die pairing, both sides retain plenty of original deep rose mint color to justify the RB designation from PCGS. Warm golden-copper patina dominates the appearance, with a blush of steel-olive confined to the lower reverse border. The texture is frosty and quite smooth and there are only trivial, easily overlooked carbon flecks scattered about. Minor flan flaws at the lower and left obverse borders, lower right and upper left reverse are as made. There are no marks of note. The strike is well centered, although both sides are soft at the left borders with significantly bolder detail elsewhere. Newman 12-X had a population of 264 pieces in the Bank of New York Hoard as of 1948, and is popular today for type purposes. Few survivors, however, are as well preserved as this premium Mint State example. A find for the discerning collector worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Bill Gleckler Collection. PCGS# 884. NGC ID: 2B8E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
