Rare 1785 bar cent

13 posts in this topic

Look at second bar up left hand side, has thorn defect of a real bar copper usaully stated to be on second bar down right side but obviously its flipped. Now prepare to not win it since you posted this on a public forum. BTW I'm not a bidder, but its bad form to front off a chance pick without just doing your own homework or pming someone.

Well the only ones that carry the thorn defect on the bar I described above are genuine examples and electrotypes. That being said I think a electrotype showing the damage on the coin in auction would reveal the cheap metal used to fill an electrotype. I feel this is the real deal, and I would not be surprised at all if it is real. As they say life favors the bold.

someone must have made a good offer that they took - cancelled all bids and closed auction

 

 

I think in a couple weeks I will ask why they closed auction, as I had a max bid set at 10K
