There are two known examples of the Nova Constellatio silver "100" pattern with the decorated edge. One is from Garrett collection. It brought $97,500 at the Garrett auction in November, 1979, a very healthy price at the time. It was purchased at the Garrett auction by colonial collector extraordinaire John Ford.
