- "1787" (ca. 1860) Fugio Copper. "New Haven Restrike." Newman 104-FF, W-17560. Rarity-3. Brass. AU-53 (PCGS). 138.8 grains. The rich mustard coloration of this "restrike" is accented by olive patina in the protected areas. The strike is uniformly bold and well centered, complemented by overall smooth fields. Magnification reveals a collection of hairline scratches behind MIND YOUR BUSINESS at the lower obverse, though these have long been worn into the surfaces and go unnoticed to the naked eye. A patch of crimson coloration on each side will be helpful in tracing this piece through future cabinets. Provenance: From our sale of the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68, October 2018 Baltimore Auction, lot 6348. PCGS# 919. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
