Description

1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 2-A, W-1885. Rarity-4+. CONSTELLATIO, Pointed Rays, Small, Close Date. VF-25 (PCGS).
110.6 grains. Medium brown with mostly smooth surfaces, just a little bit of scattered trivial granularity and a hint of verdigris in the wreath around US. The all-seeing eye is pretty flat, typical of the variety. A couple little rim nicks and abrasions are noted below NOVA. This is one of the varieties that tends to give fits to collectors who seek only high grade coins.
PCGS# 45408.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier ex Tom Rinaldo (Yesteryear Coins), August 2000.

Estimate: $1100
