David McCarthy of Kagin's, Inc. showcases the first American coin struck by the U.S. Government. The 1783 plain obverse Nova Constellatio "quint" silver coin.
That IS an amazing coin to still have in existence! Thanks for sharing the history and video, David and Interviewer (apologies, I'm a newbie and don't know his name). To hold in your hand the very first ever USA coin, and the same coin that was the beginning of/ responsible for the entire world's present-day decimal monetary system is AMAZING! :-)
Lovely token/ pattern ! I was looking at the colonials and post colonials in redbook recently and LOVE the nova constellatio coppers .They are amazing! Thankyou for showing this amazing piece of history.
This is very interesting I’ve been collecting antiques and coins for a while and never have I seen something this monumental aside from the Declaration of Independence
Maybe not for one that is very similar , the 1783 blunt rays nova constellatio is around a couple hundred u.s. dollars . 2020 redbook price GUIDE , which are not set in stone prices , but a suggestion of retail value. They list "fine" as $225. The 1785 pointed rays are listed at $200 for fine. $550 for veryfine on the 1783, and $300 on the 1785. I am starting a shop soon and am specializing in helping people of lesser means have nice quality coins.(first hand experience ,i cureently have less than $900 monthly from being disabled) There are obvious limitaions when strapped for cash , but you would probably be surprised at what can be dug up and accomplished. I stay away from details coins when at all possible.
Not the first just one of them. First had blank reverse. Last blank observe. Nova Constellatio How do I know. I'm a descendant of Charles Thompson. Press came from Roth childs only later did all Congress know. Including Thompson. Its 'mark' get it.
Fugio not the first? Really!!!!!!! History is clear on this, Fugio was the first authorized by the United State. The entire group of Nova Constellatios can only be considered tokens by private mint. Nobody from the United States government officially requested these tokens to be made. All Novas except one are unique. The non-unique Nova had just 2 examples.

Curious to weight, purity, and more on those that made the first pieces of actual USA money.

Nice Channel! Greetings From Italy! W Numismatica!
Robert Morris is an underated hero of the United States of America.
If it's the very first coin shouldn't it be type 1 instead of type 2?
Great content.
Great information
So the first coin was a Type 2. What did the Type 1 look like, and when was that made?
Wow...cool coin!
Has there been replicas in later years?
I need one of those
What is the face value of this coin?
And congrats for this dicovery

La primera moneda de America es el real de a ocho español acuñado en Mejico en 1538.
What is the actual face value of this coin; I apologize but I need to know!??!
allen kistler it is called a “unit” since this was before the government came up with the dollar
Why would you apologize?
The 13 families that started it all and would never believe that their ancestors would help stage a virus upon the world 🌎
That virus came from Mao’st China under Xi....dont fool yourself.

What about the 1776 Continential Currency Coin?
I thought we were still using British currency up to that point
I'd love to have one, but that's must be at least five million dollar even in poor condition.

Me too. I collect the really big coins. Anything bigger than a silver dollar.
