Lot Description

1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. CONSTELLATIO. W-1860, Crosby 1-A. URS-8+. Pointed Rays, Large US. VF-20 BN (NGC). We note less than perfect centering on the obverse, but not to the point where any of the devices are adversely affected. This piece is actually overall boldly defined, wear otherwise even and a bit heavier only along the lower-right reverse border. With dark-brown surfaces and a generally rough texture that is mentioned for accuracy.
