Description

This copper pairs the IMMUNIS COLUMBIA die of 1786 with the CONFEDERATIO die of 1785 with large stars. The CONFEDERATIO dies of 1785 show thirteen stars in a glory, in a large or a small circle, and were paired with several other dies: INIMICA TYRANNIS AMERICA or AMERICANA with an Indian, GEN. WASHINGTON, LIBERTAS ET JUSTITIA, an eagle with E PLURIBUS UNUM, IMMUNIS COLUMBIA and a shield. Crosby believed Thomas Wyon of Birmingham cut the dies and that some were proposals for state or national coppers. Greysheet and NGC both list it under 1786, from the date on the IMMUNIS COLUMBIA side. PCGS number 869.
