1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 3-B, W-1895. Rarity-2. CONSTELLATIO

Superior 1785 Crosby 3-B Nova Constellatio 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 3-B, W-1895. Rarity-2. CONSTELLATIO, Pointed Rays, Large Date. MS-64 BN (PCGS). 116.4 grains. An exceptional piece, with fully frosty surfaces toned medium brown and olive in thoroughly attractive fashion. A hint of mint color remains around some letters in CONSTELLATIO. Choice and problem free on both sides. The die state is advanced, with all the usual die rust around the all-seeing eye in addition to two cracks through the letter N in NOVA, the longer of which extends more than halfway to the final letter O in CONSTELLATIO. This is a variety that is found in high grade with some frequency, but examples this nice are few and far between. We've never sold an example from these dies certified at a higher grade than MS-65, and we prefer the look of this one to most others at the MS-63 and MS-64 grade levels.
