1785 COPPER Immune Columbia Copper, George III Obverse, Vlack 15-85NY, W-1995, High R.6, VG10 NGC. Die alignment: 150?. An intriguing mule combining a fairly crude George III obverse reading CEORCIVS III REX with the more refined figure of Columbia seated on a crate representing commerce, holding aloft the scales of justice, and bearing a Liberty cap on a pole. This example, while well-circulated, is largely problem-free, with a couple old scratches noted on the reverse. Struck distinctly off-center, as frequently seen on these, with the second half of CEORCIVS and the first half of IMMUNE being off-planchet. Free of the corrosion seen on several of the 15 or so surviving examples known. Listed on page 57 of the 2018 Guide Book. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
