1787 Fugio Cent Newman 13-X R2 Pointed Rays AU58

A STATES UNITED variety. Frosty light chocolate brown. No defects other than the usual tiny planchet chips that are found on these early Federal coppers. A chip under the first S in BUSINESS can help identify this piece. Looks mint state, and it almost certainly never was in circulation, but there is a hint of rub on the very highest points of the devices. This variety was found in significant quantities in the Bank of New York Hoard of uncirculated FUGIO Cents, and the piece offered here is almost certainly from that hoard. A very nice example of our first Federal cent, perfect for a high grade type set. Weight 139.5 grains.
