Description

A 1787 Connecticut copper with mailed bust facing right and the distinctive reverse legend error reading INDE ET LIB instead of the standard ET LIB INDE. This reversal of the legend words makes it a notable variety. The mailed bust right orientation was used on several 1787 die combinations.

Rarity Notes

Moderately scarce. The INDE ET legend error is a distinctive variety.
