1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 4-C, W-1900. Rarity-5. CONSTELLATIO, Pointed Rays. VF-20.121.32 grains. A blend of darker walnut patina intermingles with warmer milk chocolate coloration across this handsome Pointed Rays example. Softly impressed at the tail end of CONSTELLATIO and the corresponding legends on the reverse, but pleasantly crisp at the centers. The complexion is glossy and smooth, remaining well composed under magnification and free from notable abrasions. A lovely specimen for both specialists and type collectors. The Crosby 4-C variety is among the rarest of the non contemporary counterfeit issues from the Nova Constellatio series and this piece is sure to draw considerable interest.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
