Description
The 1861 One Cent Confederate States of America Bashlow Restrike in Copper is a modern copy of the Original Confederate Cent created in 1861 by Philadelphia engraver Robert Lovett. The coin has a very odd appearance since it was made from dies copied from the originals that had been defaced in the 1870's. Robert Bashlow had copy dies created from the original dies. It was these copy dies from which his restrikes were made in a number of metals and formats. The most common of these is the Copper (Bronze) restrike of which 20,000 pieces were struck. The original dies were given to the Smithsonian Institute by Robert Bashlow after his resrikes were sold.
