Description

This is the INIMICA TYRANNIS and CONFEDERATIO combination with large stars, struck in silver. 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. NGC and Greysheet list it as a separate silver striking. PCGS number 45410.
