Confederate States of America
(1961) 1861 Confederate Cent, Bashlow Restrike, Nickel, MS66 NGC. Breen-8012. Bashlow struck 50 pieces in an alloy he described as "nickel-silver." The specific metallurgical composition was unknown to Breen (1988), but the edge is stamped with the letter N at 6 o'clock. This lightly toned example appears as made aside from a minute spot between the NT in CENT.
