Description

A 1787 Connecticut copper variety with the obverse legend misspelled CONNLC instead of CONNEC. The L-for-E substitution represents another legend blunder by the die sinker. This variety is from the prolific draped bust left group of 1787 die combinations.

Rarity Notes

Moderately scarce legend error variety.
