- 1783 Nova Constellatio Copper. CONSTELATIO. Crosby 3-C, W-1875. Blunt Rays. EF-40 (PCGS). 122.7 grains. Very attractive medium brown with deep olive toning around devices and legends. Problem free, nicely centered, and well-struck on both sides. An ideal Nova Constellatio type coin. Considering the prominence of those who conceived this issue (Robert Morris, Gouverneur Morris, William Constable, et al), the historical importance of the 1783 Nova Constellatio patterns that inspired these later coppers, and the near-universal familiarity of this type throughout early America in the late 1780s and later, it is a wonder that Nova Constellatios are not among the most avidly sought early American coins. Interest in them and their varieties, by rights, should be far greater. PCGS# 807. Provenance: From the John "Jack" Royse Collection.
