- 1787 1C Fugio Copper "Cent," UNITED STATES, Rounded Club Rays AU53 NGC. CAC. Newman 3-D, W-6680, R.3. 148.2 grains. This is the finest of Eric P. Newman's 3-D pieces; it is a late die state, equal to the previous lot with the obverse die cracks extending through the rays and down to the Y in YOUR. This example is slightly finer than the Norweb AU50, and finer than the Choice XF examples in Ford and Garrett. Several other VF and XF pieces are known, but we are not aware of anything finer. The Newman example may be the finest known 3-D, and it is certainly a Condition Census example. Chocolate-brown and mahogany surfaces show splashes of lighter yellow-tan on each side, with steel toning primarily confined to the obverse. Noticeable cartwheel luster remains on each side. Ex: Wayte Raymond (3/27/1923); Hillyer Ryder; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $5581.25. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 1C Fugio Copper "Cent," UNITED STATES, Rounded Club Rays--Obverse Scratched--NGC Details. AU. Newman 3-D, W-6680, R.3. 169.6 grains. Several obverse scratches appear on this sharply detailed late die state piece. The obverse crack between 78 is sharp, and the branch cracks extend up to the rays, and down to the R in YOUR. Despite the blemishes, this example has pleasing and glossy chocolate-brown surfaces, and it is ideal for the colonial type collector. This is the primary plate coin in Newman's 2008 reference, and also serves to illustrate Obverse Die State D in that book. The obverse also appears to be the 1952 Newman plate coin. Unfortunately, the plate quality in that reference is insufficient to positively match coins today. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $1292.50.

- 1787 1C Fugio Copper "Cent," UNITED STATES, Concave Club Rays, FUCIO XF40 NGC. CAC. Newman 2-C, W-6630, R.6. 178.0 grains. A late obverse die state with a faint die crack from the ray at 3:30 to the bottom of the nearby cinquefoil, and the base of the 1. A linear die bulge extends from the right center of the 8 to the bottom of the second 7. This piece is plated in Eric P. Newman's 2008 reference, United States Fugio Copper Coinage of 1787, illustrating obverse die state C. This prized variety enjoys high demand for its distinctive obverse that features the FUCIO misspelling. There was apparently no punch for the letter G at the Fugio coinage facility, so the engraver was required to use a C punch and add the cross-stroke to complete the letter G, neglecting to do so on this obverse die. In addition to the misspelling of Fugio, the obverse has Club Rays with concave ends. Walter Breen assigned the fanciful name of "Musket Butt Rays." Three of the five obverse dies of this style are unique. The other two obverse dies are very rare as offered here, or extremely rare (Obverse 5). In addition to its status as a single (collectible) variety type, the 2-C is the only collectible variety with Concave Club Rays. The Eric P. Newman coin is a Condition Census example, and certainly one of the finest known. Lovely light olive and chestnut-brown surfaces exhibit a few trivial planchet laminations on each side. The strike is improperly centered, so the top of FUCIO is tight against the border, although all letters are complete. Small splashes of maroon patina appear at the lower reverse. The surfaces are smooth and attractive. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $35250.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 1C Fugio Copper "Cent," Raised Rims, Cross After Date MS64 Brown NGC. CAC. Newman 1-Z, W-6610, R.7. 154.0 grains. The combination of the Cross After Date obverse and the Raised Rims reverse yields an extremely important single-variety type with claims to pattern status. In the "Fugio Files Updated, Part Twelve," published in the July 1994 issue of Penny-Wise, Michael McLauglin writes: {blockquote}"The elements on this die were hand engraved which lends credence to the probability that this die was a pattern. Against this, however, the proportion of survivors of this variety in lower grade attests to their circulation. Perhaps a 'production pattern' designation to this die would not be inappropriate."{/blockquote} The hand engraving of both dies is not immediately obvious on lower grade pieces, but it is readily apparent on this Mint State piece. This Production Pattern issue may illustrate a stage in the Fugio design process as Michael Hodder suggested in the October 2003 Ford catalog. Since obverse 1 is identified as both a pattern and production obverse, the combination of these two dies is unprecedented among regular issue Fugios. Walter Breen recorded this variety and others from obverse 1 as prototypes of Jarvis & Company's New Haven Mint. The Norweb coin, plated in Newman's 2008 Fugio reference, was graded AU55. The finer of two in the Ford sale was called "Nearly About Uncirculated," which apparently means XF. The Eric P. Newman 1-Z is an impressive example and likely the finest known. The satin surfaces display splendid olive-brown color with a few splashes of steel toning. A few planchet rifts or laminations are typical of the Fugio series. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $55812.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 1C Fugio Copper "Cent," STATES UNITED, Cross After Date VF30 NGC. CAC. Newman 1-L, W-6605, R.5. 147.2 grains. The obverse of this example has double clash marks, although they are indistinct on this lightly worn example. This obverse is combined with a perfect reverse die. The olive-brown surfaces show traces of mahogany and steel, displaying very slight surface roughness. Minuscule rim nicks are evident at 11:30 on the obverse and 6 o'clock on the reverse. Ex: Spink & Son, Ltd. (London); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $2585.00. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.

- 1787 1C Fugio Copper "Cent," STATES UNITED, Cross After Date XF45 NGC. CAC. Newman 1-L, W-6605, R.5. 131.2 grains. An exceptional example in high enough grade that the usual obverse clash marks are clearly visible. Michael McLaughlin's "The Fugio Files" appeared in Penny-Wise from 1992 to 1994. There he records an XF-AU coin as the finest known. However, it is worth noting that his valuable series of articles is now 20 years old. Ford had an AU piece, and this example from the Eric P. Newman Collection likely qualifies high in the Condition Census. This Choice XF Fugio has lovely chestnut-brown surfaces with a few splashes of bluish-steel patina, and a single dark green spot on the obverse that identifies this piece as the plate coin in Newman's 2008 reference, United States Fugio Copper Coinage of 1787. Ex: Spink & Son, Ltd. (London, 1957); Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Realized $13512.50. Description courtesy of Heritage Auctions.
