The term "misspelled" is a bit misleading because it was a proper spelling at the time, or at least a proper alternate spelling. That said, on the Liberty Bell (and in the Constitution), Pennsylvania is spelled "Pensylvania"
From the Liberty Bell:
PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF LEV. XXV. V X.
BY ORDER OF THE ASSEMBLY OF THE PROVINCE OF PENSYLVANIA FOR THE STATE HOUSE IN PHILADA
