Papa_Sebe New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/11/2024 6:25 pm Hello all, I have a counterfeit bar token that has a "C" located at the bottom of it. I have exhausted my search trying to find another example of the token in my possession. I know that the tokens are of very low value unless it happens to be a Bolen counterfeit. My question is; what value, if any, would you estimate my token to have? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 33166 Posts	Posted 01/12/2024 5:12 pm Ok yes that second picture definitely helps. You have not a token per se, but rather a counterfeit of the USA Bar Cent, which was an English Copper meant to circulate here in the US in the late 18th Century. I have linked below a few prior threads discussing them as well as the PCGS website. The letter C on yours likely means "COPY", which means yours is relatively recent (1970s or more recent). http://goccf.com/t/439813 http://goccf.com/t/49208 https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/cate...ent-1785/831 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Papa_Sebe New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/13/2024 09:31 am I figured as much on the value of the coin. Thank you all for your expertise! Report this Post to the Staff
