Lot Title:
|
1787 Fugio Copper/Pointed Rays/United States (Newman 18-H.1, R.4) PCGS VF-20.
|
|
Description:
|
These often appear on dark planchets, as exemplified here, and in relation to commentary regarding planchet quality, minor laminations and voids are often seen, and again, that is true for this example. A defect is most obvious right of the sun's rays, but there are other subtle planchet blemishes scattered elsewhere. The VF-20 grade assigned by PCGS is open to interpretation, since detail seems a little shallow for this grade level, but UNITED STATES is at least mostly readable, and nearly half the Roman numerals on the sundial are visible. (Desc. Edited on 3/24/11 to change STATES UNITED to UNITED STATES)
