Description

A 1788 Vermont copper with the reverse legend reading ET LIB INDE (the standard Connecticut copper legend order) instead of INDE ET LIB. This legend sequence variation connects the Vermont and Connecticut copper series, as many of the same die sinkers and minting facilities were involved in both state copper coinages.

Rarity Notes

Moderately scarce. The ET LIB INDE legend order links Vermont and Connecticut coinage.
