1787 Fugio Cent - pointed or club rays?....

Hi,

Here is my 1787 Fugio Cent below. As far as I can tell, it has....

1) Four cinquefoils on the obverse
2) "United States," on the reverse at the sides of the "We Are One" statement.
3) Thick rings on the reverse, not narrow ones indicating a New Haven Restrike

Because of the wear, it's not exactly clear to me if these are club rays or pointed rays on the obverse. I am leaning to pointed rays because a) in the upper right, there are some less worn fine sun rays and b) the remaining sun rays seem to have purposeful gaps between what appear to be "bunches" of rays. Therefore, I am thinking it's GSID 189.

Have I missed something indicating it's not what I think it is?

More importantly, what grade/score would you give it? I am thinking a 3?

You did fine on your assessment of the variety. They are very difficult to identify as seen in the book. Please click on this safe link.....Varieties of the Fugio Cent : Newman, Eric P. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Definitely pointed rays. I think with some effort the variety could be determined.
