Lot 32
1783 Nova Constellation Copper. Pointed rays, large U.S. PCGS graded AU-58. Dark brown in color with clean fields and devices for the grade. This is one of the highest graded examples of this important Colonial issue. They were struck at the Wyon Mint in Birmingham, England, and were used widely through the Eastern Seaboard area. Virtually unknown in full mint state, this high grade example will no doubt find much attention from people who need to upgrade their specimen. There are some very minor dings from handling on both sides, but they old and blend well with the patina.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,500.
From the Fairchild Family Trust via Richard Picker, with an old envelope included.
