<p>[QUOTE=&quot;non_cents, post: 1790627, member: 30970&quot;]Hi folks. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I had been searching for a NOVA CONSTELLATIO (or CONSTELLATIO NOVA) colonial coin for a while, and finally found one. It was misattributed as a 1787 Nova &quot;Constellio&quot; coin, and came from Europe, which maybe was the reason I got a decent price on it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(By the way...color is way off in the photos. These are the seller&#039;s photos, and I just edited them to put them together and do a touch up or two.)</p><p>Anyways, thanks to this useful link provided to me (<a href="http://www.novanumismatics.com/numismatic-essays/attributing-the-nova-constellatio-coppers/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.novanumismatics.com/numismatic-essays/attributing-the-nova-constellatio-coppers/" rel="nofollow">http://www.novanumismatics.com/numismatic-essays/attributing-the-nova-constellatio-coppers/</a>), I think I have nailed the attribution.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1783 Pointed Rays</p><p>OBV: CONSTELLATIO NOVA, 2 L&#039;s in CONSTELLATIO, Ray points to the left of the first O (not clearly in between the letters).</p><p>REV: Wreath, LIBERTAS ET JUSTITIA.</p><p>This leads me to believe that the coin is Crosby 1-A, listed as R4.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for looking!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Simon</p><p>[ATTACH=full]288903[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
