RESEARCHERS BELIEVE THEY’VE FOUND A UNICORN: THE LITERAL MOTHER OF ALL UNITED STATES COINS

‘I’m 99.9999 percent certain this is the first U. S. coin,’ rare coin dealer, John Dannreuther, told CNBC on the discovery of just that – the first minted piece, ever, in the nation’s history – after an odious yearslong investigation.
Researchers believe United States founding politician, Alexander Hamilton, himself, might once have clutched the one-of-a-kind coin – undoubtedly, a penultimate prize for coin collectors, or numismatists.
As senior researcher for the coin and collectibles firm, Kagin’s, David McCarthy never imagined the storied first coin was looking back at him from the pages of an auction catalogue – but the piece’s lack of inscription immediately piqued his interest. Similar coins, he noted for CNBC, bore the Latin inscription, ‘Nova Constellatio,’ or ‘new constellation,’ above ‘the all-seeing eye of God, surrounded by rays of light’ on the front side. ‘The rays shoot out toward 13 stars – one for each of the colonies that had rebelled against Great Britain.’
