- Lustrous AU Newman 19-Z Raised Rims Reverse 1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 19-Z, W-6975. Rarity-5. STATES UNITED, Label With Raised Rims, Large Letters in WE ARE ONE. AU-53 (PCGS). 158.3 grains. A top calibre example of this major variety, one of a handful of AU coins known that comprise most of the Condition Census. The two best of these may be the Breen plate - new Newman plate coin, in a New York City collection, and the very choice Boyd-Ford coin is also lustrous and beautiful; it brought $20,700 in 2003. This ranks among the finest of the next tier, nicer than the Craige AU-50 (PCGS) that brought a seeming bargain $7,638. The eye appeal and surface quality of this piece are choicer than the grade would indicate, with superb frost on ideal medium chocolate brown surfaces. The obverse periphery is a little soft above the date and below BUSINESS, while the reverse shows trivial softness at its base. No problems are noted; the only reason a Fugio specialist wouldn't want to own this coin is because they have a better one, and only a few of those whose eyes are cast on this page can claim such a thing. PCGS# 895. Provenance: From the Robert Ayers Collection. Acquired from Stack's, privately, May 1983. Company tag with attribution notation included.
