1787 STATES UNITED 4 CINQ P.R. Fugio cent (Newman 7-T, R.4). NGC AU-53. 1787 STATES UNITED 4 CINQ P.R. Fugio cent (Newman 7-T, R.4). NGC AU-53.
Lot Title: 1787 STATES UNITED 4 CINQ P.R. Fugio cent (Newman 7-T, R.4). NGC AU-53.
Description: Scarcer as a Newman 7-T variety, this Fugio copper also benefits from rock 'em sock 'em eye appeal, due mostly to the lovely contrast between chocolate fields and pecan-brown devices. An amazingly sharp central strike has brought up every single Roman numeral in exquisite relief, and STATES UNITED / WE ARE ONE figure prominently and readily into the reverse presentation. As an aside, the coin was struck on a modesty cracked planchet, with a small fissure sneaking through the "8" in the date. (PCGS# 000883)
Low Estimate: $1,600.00

1787 Fugio copper, STATES UNITED 4 CINQ (K-13X) ANACS VF-30.
Inevitable planchet voids to the far left and a slightly tapered planchet on the right deny viewing of all cinquefoils, but of course the Newman K-13X attribution confirms the Redbook "four...

1787 Fugio copper, STATES UNITED 4 CINQ (Newman 11-X). PCGS MS-64.
Minor traces of brick-red color still manage to edge some of the devices on both sides, though the predominant color is undeniably deep mahogany-brown with underlying luster. The usual evidence of a...

1787 STATES UNITED 4 CINQ FUGIO (Newcomb 13-x). PCGS AU-58.
Ignoring the grade on the slab, it would be easy to mistake this delectable chocolate Fugio for a brown UNC coin. The consistent, even cocoa patina shows no disturbance anywhere, so aside from a...

1787 Fugio Cent (Newman 8-x, R.3) STATES UNITED 4 CINQ. ICG MS-62 BN.
If anything, the ICG MS-62 BN grade almost seems conservative by commercial grade standards, as this is simply a knockout choice Fugio. Newman 8-X can be quickly attributed by the large, grotesque...

1787 Fugio cent STATES UNITED, 4 cinquefoil. F details/bent.
Face-on eye-appeal is excellent for a Fugio in the strong "fine" grade range, with a perfect fusion of honey-brown coloration and ash-grey highlights. It is THE classic color scheme for the type. ...

1787 STATES UNITED 4 CINQ (Newman-12-X, R.3). PCGS Genuine (code 98/VF...
Not stated on the slab label is the pedigree claimed by the consignor: Bank of New York Hoard. That is entirely possible since 264 examples were found in that hoard in 1948, mostly in high grade. ...
204The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$975.00
1787 STATES UNITED 4 CINQ (Newman 12-S, R.5). PCGS VF-35.
Sometimes, third-party grading of colonial coins requires a cynical approach, but PCGS seems to have gotten the VF-35 grade exactly right in this case. 12-S (4 cinquefoils, pointed rays) is...
