Description
1785 Nova Constellatio Copper, Pointed Rays, Small Date, Crosby 2-A, W-1885, R.4, AU58 NGC. The Guide Book calls this the 1785 Small, Close Date variety--a conditionally scarce-to-rare type, seemingly more challenging than its R.4 designation. The date numerals are close together (especially 1 and 7), with the 5 skewed left to confirm the Crosby 2-A variety. Attractive remnants of orange mint luster outline the raised elements, while near-Mint State surfaces display only a touch of high-point wear and pleasing, reddish-brown surfaces. A few splashes of deep-brown patina visit the reverse, but no marks of consequence are seen. Listed on page 52 of the 2024 Guide Book.Ex: Hillyer Ryder; Wayte Raymond; New Netherlands Coin Co., Inc.; Donald G Partrick (Heritage, 3/2021), lot 15312.
