Colonials
1787 1C Fugio Cent, UNITED STATES, No Cinquefoils, XF45 PCGS. N. 1-B, W-6600, R.4. The distinctive obverse die, with a cross after the date instead of four cinquefoils, previously struck the non-collectible N. 1-CC pattern. Likely, the obverse die then became part of the regular inventory, and in due course was paired with a generic UNITED STATES reverse to create the present scarce variety. This is an unabraded walnut-brown example with pleasing detail, a minor reverse flan flaw at 7 o'clock, and a slight reverse rim ding at 4 o'clock. The reverse die is misaligned toward 1 o'clock. Listed on page 89 of the 2018 Guide Book.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2013), lot 6205.
