Lot 53
1785 Nova Constellatio. Pointed rays. Sharpness of EF-40 but porous and a small rim cut. Well struck on the devices, but we note a small area of corrosion on the obverse edge right of the date. There is also a small notch cut out of the edge, and perhaps this was used as a gun site. Colonial Americans being a thrifty sort, they used whatever they could find to serve their purpose, in this case a round metal object would do well if a small notch was cut at the rim.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
