Description

A 1787 Immunis Columbia copper with a distinctive ornamented (patterned) edge, featuring the standard seated Liberty obverse and eagle reverse. The ornamented edge variety is considerably rarer than the plain edge version, as edge ornamentation required additional processing. The edge design adds an extra layer of sophistication to this already notable colonial copper type.

Rarity Notes

Rare. The ornamented edge variant is significantly scarcer than the plain edge.
