Colonial Coinage/Nova Constellatio Coppers: Mint State 1785 Nova Constellatio
1785 Nova Constellatio Copper, Pointed Rays, "CONSTELLATIO," Crosby 3-B, Choice Uncirculated. 105.5 grains. A near-perfect example of the variety, showing some of the nicest, most appealing, underlying color and luster that we've ever seen on a Nova Constellatio Copper. Both sides of this coin have a rich, "cartwheel" luster that rotates as the coin is turned under a light source. The coloring consists of a glittering mix of reds, golds, and orange-browns, all blending to create a stunning visual impact. The dies are of the late state normally associated with this variety, showing rusting in the rays and stars on the obverse and the die break in the wreath above the date. This is a potential candidate for one of the finest examples known of the variety. We've been dealing in Colonial coins for over quarter century now and we are truly impressed with this exciting specimen.
