- "1787" (ca. 1860) Fugio Cent. "New Haven Restrike". Newman 104-FF, W-17560. Rarity-3. Brass or Yellow Bronze. MS-63 (PCGS). The gleaming, pale orange-yellow luster is quite beautiful, the luster frosty and complete on both sides, save for some darker patina in the upper right quadrant of the reverse. Here is an outstanding example of this misnamed "New Haven Restrike," as they are not really restrikes nor were they made in New Haven! They are strikings made by Scovill Manufacturing Company in Waterbury, Connecticut at the behest of Horatio N. Rust after he located some original 1780s era Fugio cent tooling in New Haven in 1859. Provenance: From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex the Donald Scarinci Collection, November 2010. This coin was originally called copper by PCGS and was formerly in a PCGS MS-63 RB holder.
