Description

A 1787 Immunis Columbia copper struck on a broad flan (oversized planchet) with a plain edge. The broader planchet gives this variety a more impressive appearance than the standard-sized pieces, with wider margins around the designs. Broad flan varieties in colonial coinage typically result from the use of larger-than-standard copper blanks during production.

Rarity Notes

Rare. The broad flan variant is scarcer than the standard plain edge.
