1785 Nova Constellatio Copper, XF40
Elusive Crosby 2-A Small Date, Pointed Rays

1785 C NOVA Nova Constellatio Copper, Pointed Rays, Small Date, Large U.S., Crosby 2-A, W-1885, High R.4, XF40 PCGS. The Crosby 2-A is a challenging die marriage that receives a separate Guide Book listing for its Small Date and Pointed Rays design. The usually encountered 1785 variety is Crosby 3-B, which features the Large Date and Large U.Ss design elements to go with the Pointed Rays motif. This deep-brown C 2-A example is evenly struck and only mildly granular, with no relevant abrasions. As such, it offers an enticing opportunity for the alert specialist. Listed on page 24 of the 2026 Guide Book. PCGS Population: 6 in 40, 5 finer (3/26).
