<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3570778, member: 74863&quot;]This coin is known as a bar copper.&nbsp; They have no date and the origin is unknown. It has 13 parallel and unconnected bars on one side to represent the 13 colonies. The other side has a large USA monogram which is identical to that used on The Continental Army uniform button.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I&#039;m not mistaken the bars represent a single unity as symbolized by the interlocking of the USA. It is thought that the first circulation occurred in New York around 1785 late in the year.</p><p><br /></p><p>A fantastic colonial coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
