- Challenging 1787 Newman 10-T Fugio Copper The Ford Specimen 1787 Fugio Copper. Pointed Rays. Newman 10-T, W-6705. Rarity-5. STATES UNITED, 1/Horizontal 1. VF-35 (PCGS). 152.2 grains. The obverse is nice olive-brown while the reverse is an interesting combination of that color and deeper ruddy brown. The obverse fields are only lightly granular at left and right and quite rough below the sundial (as they usually seem to be at this position). The reverse is quite rough at both the top and bottom. Decent sharpness for the grade, the sun face is bold, its rays are separated at their tips, and most of the sundial numerals at left and top can be seen without the aid of magnification. The central reverse is much sharper, as usual. Small obverse edge bruise at about 5:45. Struck from an early die state, Newman A/B. Pleasing and desirable Choice VF quality for this scarce, conditionally challenging die marriage. Provenance: Ex John M Richardson, acquired in trade, November 21, 1926; Hillyer C. Ryder; F.C.C. Boyd estate; our (Stack's) sale of the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, Part I, October 2003, lot 262. PCGS# 886. NGC ID: 2B8G. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
