1787 1C Fugio Cent, UNITED STATES, 4 Cinquefoils MS63 Brown PCGS. N. 8-B, W-6740, R.3. This Fugio variety is usually encountered poorly centered, making this Select Uncirculated piece stand out as an exception. A generous measure of mint red remains on the obverse, with traces in the protected areas of the reverse. Both sides show some areas of striking weakness, most evident at the end of BUSINESS. The reverse is heavily clashed, with the sun distinctly visible near 6 o'clock. The wedge-shaped rim break over the first 7 of the date identifies this as a later die state. A good choice for a type set, being one of the varieties found in the Bank of New York Hoard in 1856. Listed on page 89 of the 2018 Guide Book.
