Description

A rare 1785 Vermont copper muling combining a Vermont VERMONTS obverse die with an Immune Columbia reverse depicting a seated figure and the legend IMMUNE COLUMBIA. This piece represents a die combination shared between Vermont's authorized copper coinage and the experimental Immune Columbia series. The existence of this muling indicates the same minting facility or die sinkers were involved in producing both issues.

Rarity Notes

Very rare. An important muling connecting Vermont and Immune Columbia coinage.
