- "1787" (ca. 1860) Fugio Copper. "New Haven Restrike." Newman 104-FF, W-17560. Rarity-3. Brass. MS-64 BN (PCGS). A beautiful brass or yellow bronze example, a composition many times rarer than copper. Lustrous golden-olive surfaces with attractive pale blue iridescence in the fields. A gem example in our eyes and one of the finest we’ve seen. The usual brass example in MS64 does not have nearly the strength of luster nor eye appeal of this piece. Given their die state, it’s evident the brass pieces were struck soon after the silver pieces and before the coppers. Provenance: Ex Hillyer Ryder; F.C.C. Boyd Estate; John J. Ford, Jr. Stack’s October 2003, lot 319. PCGS# 916. NGC ID: 2B8S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
