1787 1C Fugio Cent, New Haven Restrike, Silver, Breen-1344, W-17570, MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 19th century numismatist Horatio N. Rust has long been linked with the so-called "New Haven" restrikes of the Fugio cent. According to Rust, in a document reprinted in the Whitman Encyclopedia of Colonial and Early American Coins, 50 silver restrikes were struck off by Rust, a figure consistent with the number of examples known today. This piece offers strong detail despite a failing obverse die, evident in the slight convexity of that side. Both sides display delicate emerald, rose, and gold patina over subtly lustrous silver-gray surfaces. Listed on page 90 of the 2018 Guide Book. Population: 6 in 63 (1 in 63+), 0 finer. CAC: 1 in 63, 0 finer (6/17).
