Lot 7
1787 Fugio Cent Newman 12-X Rarity-3 AU50. Very attractive frosty medium chocolate brown. Nicely struck and never circulated, but there are two very shallow spots of fine planchet erosion under the 8 in the date and another at the top of the O in FUGIO. Otherwise the only defect is a small planchet flake on the first T in STATES (as struck). Later die state with all the die cracks described by Newman. Most likely from the famous Bank of New York Hoard of Fugio Cents. Listed on page 89 in the "Redbook." Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
