1787 Fugio Cent (1c) Newman 9-P

Lovely, original surfaces in medium chocolate-brown with olive-gold highlights and a pleasing matte gloss give this XF its confident eye appeal. Wear is even and balanced, the devices remain bold, and the look is wonderfully unmessed-with. A thin old scrape within the reverse chains is the lone limitation, noted for accuracy. Approved by CAC and housed in a PCGS gold shield holder with Newman 9-P attribution and the Richard August Collection pedigree on the label - this example simply has the look.
