Description

A 1787 Connecticut copper with the reverse legend misspelled ETIIB instead of ET LIB. This is one of the more dramatic legend errors in the Connecticut copper series, with multiple incorrect letters. The draped bust left obverse is otherwise standard for the type.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. One of the more notable reverse legend errors.
