Actually, the answer isn't as simple as it might seem. The Liberty Bell goes back to the 1750s, and spelling back then was not yet exact about a number of words, including "Pennsylvania." While it was more common with two N's (after William Penn), there are some documents that only spelled it with one N, and it's also spelled with one N on the Liberty Bell. So, yes, by today's standards, the mistake is spelling Pennsylvania with only one N. But there's some evidence that in the 1750s, it was spelled both ways.

Why is Pennsylvania misspelled on the Liberty Bell?

At the time the bell was created, it actually wasn't misspelled. According to the National Park Service:It is often incorrectly noted that there is a misspelling on the Liberty Bell. In the 18th century, spelling was not standardized and it was acceptable to spell Pennsylvania with one "n," or in a number of other ways. The copy of the letter written by the Speaker of the Pennsylvania Assembly specifying the bell's inscription spells Pennsylvania with only one "n."More can be read athttp://www.nps.gov/history/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/36liberty/36setting.htm
