Struck on a copper planchet and produced outside the federal minting system at a time when the young nation lacked a unified coinage. The obverse displays a large, incuse “USA” monogram, still clearly legible despite honest circulation wear. The letters remain bold for the grade, framed by smooth, evenly worn fields that exhibit a pleasing medium-brown patina. The overall appearance is natural and undisturbed, with no distracting corrosion or damage. The reverse features incused parallel bars, sharply visible and well-defined for the grade. These bars, intended as an anti-counterfeiting device and denomination indicator, remain clear and evenly impressed. A scarce and historically significant colonial-era copper.
