Spring 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

ロット詳細: Choice Mint State 1785 Crosby 2-A Nova Constellatio Copper Sole Uncirculated Example at PCGS 1785 Nova Constellatio Copper. Crosby 2-A, W-1885. Rarity-4+. CONSTELLATIO, Pointed Rays. Small, Close Date. MS-63 BN (PCGS). CAC. 118.0 grains. Exceptionally lovely chestnut-tan surfaces exhibit a wealth of eye appeal and offer a no-questions asked visual charm that is superb for both the type and the assigned grade. Aside from a touch of weakness at the centers as often seen, the devices are fairly sharp and well-presented. No marks of any great magnitude are seen other than some natural ticks that were in the planchet when struck. Two tiny toning flecks are seen by the naked eye and are located on the obverse within the wreath in the 9 o'clock position. The present specimen is the only Mint State example of the Crosby 2-A variety certified by PCGS, and is immensely important as such. We suspect an advanced Nova Constellatio copper cabinet or superb early American type set will be the next resting place of this attractive coin. Provenance: From our sale of the Ted L. Craige Collection (as PCGS MS-62 BN), March 2013 Baltimore, lot 301. Mr. Craige purchased the coin from Richard Picker on November 29, 1966. PCGS# 823. NGC ID: 2AZ4.
