    1787 Fugio Cent, Glossy MS66 Brown N. 13-X, Four Cinquefoils STATES UNITED, Pointed RaysThe Bank of New York hoard yielded more than 700 examples of Newman-13-X Fugio cents -- some in high grades -- although at the Premium Gem level no Fugio cent is readily available, regardless of variety. This example exhibits glossy, reddish-brown surfaces struck from clashed dies as usually seen. Satin luster glistens from both sides, with a slender radial die crack on the reverse extending upward just to the right of 6 o'clock. Sharply struck centers show only nominal weakness at the lower obverse and upper reverse dentils. The coin is exceptionally free of marks and abrasions, struck on a good planchet, and shows minimal Mint-made defects on the smooth, hard flan. Listed on page 99 of the 2019 Guide Book. Census: 4 in 66 Brown, 0 finer (8/18). Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society. Heritage Auctions 11/2018 (Newman XI), lot15004 (realized $11400).

    1776 Continental Dollar, AU55 Newman 1-B, Rare in Pewter Ex: The Richard Picker CollectionPewter examples of the 1-B variety were unknown to Eric P. Newman in 1953. They are considerably rarer than brass examples of the variety, which makes this Choice About Uncirculated pewter example an important opportunity for Colonial specialists. We know of just six surviving coins struck in pewter from the 1-B die pair. In comparison, more than a dozen brass strikings are known from the 1-B dies. Eric acquired his pewter 1-B specimen as lot 117 in the October 1984 Stack's auction of Selections from the Richard Picker Collection. There, it was described as: {blockquote}"Very well struck, especially the diagnostic features. Perfectly centered with no corrosion or other marks. Even medium gray toning with some lustre in the letters. Certainly one of the most important pieces in this or any other sale of Early American coins." {/blockquote} The 1-B variety shares its obverse with the 1-C. Only a few distinguishing features separate the two varieties. In its early die state, the 1-C obverse is nearly identical to 1-B, although later states show a diagnostic die crack above GIO in FUGIO. The reverse of the 1-B shows crude reworking of the die to strengthen the linked circles, which were previously formed from a series of disconnected dots as seen on the 1-A variety. On 1-B, traces of the original dots remain clearly visible along the edges of the now-solid rings. Die lapping and additional die reworking on 1-C altogether eliminates the dots. Rays outside the center ring near RESS of CONGRESS come fully formed on Newman 1-B, but they are often attenuated on 1-C in mid-to-late die states. A pellet-like die chip near the Pennsylvania ring center of this 1-B is clear to the unaided eye, a feature that is absent on 1-C examples. While the origin and purpose of the 1776 Continental dollar has long been an intriguing topic of discussion among numismatists and researchers, Eric P. Newman believed that these coins were American-made. Further, the fact that the Continental Currency paper $1 notes were eliminated from the six issues from July 22, 1776, through September 26, 1778, indicates that Congress planned for a $1 coin, and that the Continental dollar was used as fiat money. Multiple varieties of the Continental dollar exist, and varying quantities of coins were struck in pewter, brass, and silver from multiple die combinations and die stages. Today, there are either six or seven pewter Newman 1-B dollars confirmed, depending on the status of the 1968 Merkin coin. Census of Newman 1-B in Pewter 1. MS64 NGC. Jon Hanson; The Donald G.

    1787 Massachusetts Half Cent, MS64 Brown Sharp Ryder 4-C ExampleEx: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green. The obverse arrow fletching touches E in WEALTH, and the period after MASSACHUSETTS is partially obscured behind an arrowhead on the 1787 Ryder 4-C. Prior to the establishment of the U.S. Mint, the individual states considered coinage production. Among those was Massachusetts, the General Court passing coinage legislation in October 1786. After delays, the Massachusetts copper coinage became a reality more than a year after that legislation was passed. Boston engraver Joseph Callender was responsible for the 1787 half cent dies, while in 1788 young silversmith Jacob Perkins of Newburyport supplied some of the dies for Massachusetts half cents and cents. Blue overtones enrich golden-brown surfaces of this lustrous, well-struck copper. A sharp strike distinguishes this near-Gem example, with bold central details and only slight blurriness at the dentils. A loupe reveals a few instances of isolated microporosity and some scattered, tiny reverse die rust lumps, none of which limit the considerable eye appeal and overall surface quality. Perhaps three dozen Mint State 1787 half cents are known, including a dozen examples of Ryder 4-C, the most plentiful variety in high grades. Census: 9 in 64 (2 in 64+) Brown, 6 finer (8/18).
