Jon12, if after hearing the opinions of those who know a lot more than me you are having second thoughts about the coin, feel free to contact me...
Not sure, but I think the Crosby-1A is a Large US (cheetahcats may correct me if I am wrong). Makes it extra cool, as 1A has a rarity of R4! :D
I really want a fugio, but they are so dang expensive (for me). I see examples in G going for $300+ on ebay all the time. I got lucky with this...
Thanks for the excellent link. I think I have attributed the coin properly...I posted it here....
Yes, it will probably remain my oldest US coin for a while. Just a mere 7 years after the revolution...and I didn't get too bad a deal on it,...
Hi folks. :) I had been searching for a NOVA CONSTELLATIO (or CONSTELLATIO NOVA) colonial coin for a while, and finally found one. It was...
My oldest US coin yet, 1783 CONSTELLATIO NOVA colonial.[ATTACH]
Agreed...but it does look like you got some nice pickups. :)
Looks like the one I sold you... :) I'd say it's a mid to high VF (in my opinion). Value is whatever someone will pay for it. I put an asking...

The C in AMERICA looks as much like MD as the rest of the coin does to me.
The coin is not a DDO...doubled dies have full, raised doubling. The doubling present on your coin is flat and shelf-like, and reduces the size of...
Looks like a plating bubble. Poke it with a toothpick and it should deflate.
Kind of tough to tell, but there certainly a lot of DDRs that year, so if die 30 doesn't match up it could be another one.
I do apologize for the attitude in my second post, but when you take images from one of the most well-known coin sites on the internet (without...
There can never be "no VDB from the start", as it is included in the original design during the hubbing process. Your coin could be one of a few...
I also rely on the additional thickness, best noted in the left side of the U (although present on other letters) in conjunction with the split of...
Separate names with a comma.
