Description

A 1785 Immune Columbia copper pattern distinguished by an extra star in the reverse design beyond the standard count. The additional star may represent an error in die preparation or a deliberate design variation. Immune Columbia patterns from 1785 are among the rarest and most important proposed federal coins, predating the establishment of the U.S. Mint by seven years.

Rarity Notes

Extremely rare. The extra star makes this a distinctive variety.
