<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 4788, member: 487&quot;]Both of you make good points. Since the origin of the bar cent is still not known, along with an unknown mintage, all that have the characteristics should be verified. The first known copies were made in the 1860&#039;s and still carry a nice premium. I am guilty of jumping to the copy theory myself, and I am trying to change that. 99 times out of 100, a found bar cent will be of modern origin, but if we don&#039;t do the necessary processes of identifying these coins we may miss something. A perfect example is the missing 1913 nickel that was deemed a copy until this past summer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
