Description

A blundered-date variety where the date reads "1700" instead of "1760" — the die cutter omitted the "6," creating one of the most popular error varieties in the Voce Populi series. Combined with the absence of the "P" initial. This predates the actual series by 60 years.

Rarity Notes

R.5. Scarce. Desirable crossover variety for colonial and error coin collectors.
