1783 Nova Constellatio

Hello all,

I got this piece in and am very excited about it especially after reading some history on it! I know there’s some issues due to it being black and wish there was something I could do to bring it back to life but either way the condition is phenomenal and can’t believe I found this piece! I’ll attach some quick pictures to share with you all!

best regards.

Wow! Will that one show up on your website?

 

No . It's mine. LOL

 

To be honest I have no idea what to do with this coin (smartest) thing to do.. I saw the pictures and knew it was something special but it was fairly hard because the pictures were extremely dark so my jaw dropped to the floor when I pulled this out of its package today to say the least..

 

You could attempt sodium thiosulfate, which dulls the surface. Leave it in a Manila envelope for about 20 years to reincarnate a good tone.

Or, enjoy it as is because it looks pretty cool

 

Very nice one this might help a bit you have a 1-a or 2-b they rest i leave to you

 

And here's some detailed reading :

yup yup got that one

 

I'm dying to ask how much ? Ok. I won't ask. By the way, I see 24 pairs of leaves .

 

2-b at my best guess would be easier if the US wasn't mostly wiped out

 

Oh and the 1st pic is upside down lol

 

I just noticed that .

 

Holy smokes lol! I don’t even know where to begin with that chart I’ll have to look into it more later when I have time tonight Lol

 

Well thank you for letting me know I’m still learning

 

You would hate me if I told you! Let’s just say you have to be grateful for people that take pictures of dark coins in very dark lighting!

 

Do you think I should get this graded at the least? I don’t know if the all black exterior will be sent back just environmental?

 

Is it damage though? Idk of horn silver (if that what causes the black) is considered damage or just terminal toning

 

i expect it would come back details for the damage to the 1 (or is that damage?) as for the envoromental that's almost a sure thing. But... getting it slabbed will increase it's value with just a "Genuine" label

 

I can't wait to get mine in hand and some good pictures the ones in the flip ain't great nor bright nor detailed as i would like (which like yours helped me get a great price)

 

Easier chart but leaves me still on 1a or 2b but again based on the US i think 2b
