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

1783 Nova Constellatio Copper, Blunt Rays, Crosby 3-C, W-1865, R.3, MS64 Brown NGC. 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 (3/23). Since our Permanent Auction Archives began in 1993, we have offered 17 Mint State examples of this variety, and this piece is tied with one other MS64 Brown as the finest we have sold. 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 even more demand. This Choice Mint State representative has frosty cartwheel luster with splendid chocolate-brown surfaces and extraordinary eye appeal. Listed on page 85 of the 2023 Guide Book.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2017), lot 3511, where it sold for $22,325.
