Description

1783 Nova Constellatio Copper
Crosby 3-C, Blunt Rays, MS64 Brown
The Finest NGC Certified

1783 C NOVA Nova Constellatio Copper, Blunt Rays MS64 Brown NGC. Crosby 3-C, W-1875, R.3. This example ranks at the top of the NGC Census for the 1783 Blunt Rays variety, and PCGS has only graded one similar piece and one finer example (5/17). Since our Permanent Auction Archives began in 1993, we have offered 13 Mint State examples of this variety, none graded finer than MS63 Brown. The present example is the finest that we have offered, tied for the second finest certified, and clearly a Condition Census representative of the popular 1783 Blunt Rays type. The Crosby 3-C is the only die variety of that type, so examples are necessary for specialized collections and Guide Book collections, adding demand. This Choice Mint State representative has frosty cartwheel luster with splendid chocolate-brown surfaces and extraordinary eye appeal. Listed on page 56 of the 2018 Guide Book.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2AYZ, PCGS# 807, Greysheet# 91)
