1787 Fugio Cent Newman 9-Q Rarity-5. ANACS graded Details of VF-20,Corroded. Sharpness at least VF20 but covered with uniform fine roughness that dulls the surfaces. There are traces of microscopic verdigris in some of the protected areas. The only marks are a small planchet void under the G in FUGIO and a larger one inside the ring left of TA in STATES (both as struck), plus a pair of old pinscratches slanting through WE ARE in the center of the reverse. The date and legends are complete and easily readable, although the middle two digits in the date are relatively weak. Unlisted late die state with a clear horizontal die crack from the rim through ring number 4, which explains the reason for retirement of this otherwise serviceable reverse die. An important discovery piece for the specialist. Our grade is net VG10.
Estimated Value $250 - 300.
