Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed Rays. Newman 9-S, W-6765. Rarity-6. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. VG-8 (PCGS). 157.1 grains. A very rare die variety of Fugio cent whose scarcity has held up notably over the years as many varieties once thought to be of similar rarity have now been found to be more available. Examples of Newman 9-S are still seldom encountered and when they are, they are almost always in well worn condition. This is a much better than average example with pleasing sharpness and good quality chocolate-brown surfaces. Considering the advanced state of the obverse die state used on this die pair, the technical grade of this piece is really a solid Fine. Quite comparable to the Pierre Fricke example graded PCGS VG-10 that we sold in November of 2021 for $2,400. Provenance: From the Star of Texas Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the John W. Hancock, Jr. Collection, November 1994, lot 58. PCGS# 878083. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
