Cherry picked our own fake bin
This was missed years ago and put into our fake bin. Originally sent to NGC as an authentic Bar Cent, this is a fairly scarce and very well done copy done by John Adams Bolen in the 1860's. Bolen was a very prolific die sinker in the 1860's and 70's and made many excellent reproduction of colonial coins as well as many tokens and medals.
This bronze example is now an NGC 61 BN.

A couple of interesting Coin Week articles:

"Metal Detectorist Finds Bar Copper Worth Thousands in Connecticut Town" (May 3, 2024)
P.S. Sorry, I tried posting the links. It wouldn't let me.
