1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 2-B, W-1865. Rarity-2. CONSTELLATIO, Pointed Rays, Small U.S. VF-30 (PCGS). OGH.Incorrectly attributed on the PCGS insert as the CONSTELATIO, Blunt Rays Guide Book variety of the issue. Hard and tight, the surfaces of this superior quality Choice VF reveal only a few wispy handling marks and trivial flan flaws that are easily overlooked by the unaided eye. The strike is nicely centered on both sides, the peripheral details bold, the eye a bit soft yet readily appreciable, and significant softness of detail confined to the letters U.S. within the wreath. Handsome golden-brown and reddish-russet patina throughout, there is much to recommend this coin to the discerning collector.
