- Exceptional Newman 12-X Fugio Copper
1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 12-X, W-6820. Rarity-3. STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils. MS-64+ BN (PCGS).
A simply outstanding example of both the type and die pairing, this is an overall smooth and satiny near-Gem with hard, tight surfaces. Warmly toned in medium copper, the persistent viewer will be rewarded with faint remnants of original pinkish-rose color in the protected areas around some of the design elements. The strike is well centered, both sides near-fully denticulated around the borders, mentionable softness of detail confined to the lower right obverse and upper right reverse borders. 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 expertly produced and preserved as this premium Choice example. A find for the discerning collector worthy of the strongest bids.
Provenance: One of the plate coins for the STATES UNITED, 4 Cinquefoils Guide Bookvariety on the PCGS CoinFactswebsite, as noted on the PCGS insert.
PCGS# 883. NGC ID: 2B8E.
