1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 3-C, W-1875. Rarity-3. CONSTELATIO, Blunt Rays, Small U.S. AU-53 (PCGS).
An attractive example with just a touch of microgranularity to surfaces that present as hard and mostly smooth during in-hand inspection. A shallow edge bruise at 8:30 on the obverse is the only mark of note. Boldly defined from a nicely centered and well executed strike, sharpness of detail is most impressive on the eye in the center of obverse. Warmly toned in medium ruddy-brown, this handsome and conditionally scarce Nova Constellatio copper will do equally well in a high quality type or variety set.
