1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 2-A, W-1885. Rarity-4+. CONSTELLATIO, Pointed Rays, Small, Close Date. Fine-12 Bent, Porous.，104.4 grains. The deep olive-copper patina supports highlights of lighter medium brown in and around the centers. The reverse is slightly bulged due to a minor bend, resulting in uneven wear that has effaced much of the detail within the wreath. The central obverse is also soft over and around the eye, but the definition does sharpen appreciably toward the borders. Both sides are overall rough in texture with scattered pitting, several wispy pin scratches in and around the centers are also noted. A more affordable, yet still pleasing example of this scarcer variety of the Nova Constellatio copper.，PCGS# 823.，，Paper envelope with attribution and collector notes included.
