1787 Fugio Cent (1c) Club Rays Rounded Ends

The 1787 Fugio cent, also known as the "Franklin cent" after Benjamin Franklin, is notable for being the first coin authorized by the United States Congress. This specific variant, the Club Rays with Rounded Ends, is one of the more intriguing die varieties that collectors appreciate for its unique historical context and design subtleties.

This coin, graded VF30 by PCGS, displays strong details, particularly evident in the fine features of the sundial and the band of interlocking circles. The surfaces exhibit a uniform, dark brown patina typical for coins of this age and circulation level. The wear is even and leaves all the critical design elements clearly visible. A solid and respectable piece of early American numismatic history.
