1788 CT 1/2P Georgivs III Obverse Half Penny

Coin Details

Description

A 1788 Connecticut copper muling that combines a British George III halfpenny obverse die with a Connecticut reverse die. Like the 1787 muling, this piece provides evidence of the connection between state copper coinage and counterfeit British halfpenny production at the same minting facilities.

Rarity Notes

Very rare. British/Connecticut die mulings are rare and important for understanding mint operations.
