Lark Coin Collection: Group B, 1785/1788

Scope and content:

13 - collection of early American coins. Contains Early American Vermont coins which range in date from 1785-1788. This group of coins also has four accompanying slides included of .B04 and .B09. One particularly interesting specimen from this collection is a coin minted in 1785. The face of this coin shows an image of King George III of England; while the reverse features the "Immune Columbia" design. It is possible this coin was minted in England, yet issued in a freshly independent America. Other interesting specimens include a coin which was struck over a George III Halfpenny, as well as another George III coin which features "Inde et Lib" on its reverse, Latin for Independence and Liberty.
