Copy of the famous Bar Copper by C. Wyllys Betts. Copper. 27.3 mm. Choice Fine.，USA in monogram on the obverse, with the usual series of parallel bars on the reverse. Somewhat crude in style, as typical of Betts fabrications, but this adds to their charm. Somewhat light in execution, likely from the die as much as from some handling, but the major design elements are discernible. Light, mostly even porosity on both sides. A famous early American issue, and struck copies of it are very much prized by collectors.
