Lot 139
1787 Fugio Cent. Pointed rays, cinquefoils, "STATES UNITED". PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Roper. Kessler-13X. This is the Roper coin from the famous Stack's sale in 1983. In the color department, this one is chocolate brown with a few hints of mint red near the date. Struck from sharply clashed dies, and well struck for this issue. It is certainly one of the best around, even though PCGS has graded 22 this high, only a single coin has been graded higher. A few trivial planchet fissures are seen, almost all on the reverse, and these do not detract. Greatly enhanced by the Roper pedigree, and another highlight in this extensive colonial offering.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
From Stack's Roper Sale, 1983, Lot 418 (includes original flip).
