Description

A 1788 Connecticut copper with the reverse legend misspelled INDL ET instead of INDE ET. The L-for-E error on the reverse, combined with the draped bust left obverse, creates a distinctive variety for the final year of Connecticut state copper coinage.

Rarity Notes

Scarce reverse legend error.
