Confederate States of America
(1961) 1861 Confederate Cent, Bashlow Restrike, Aluminum, MS65 NGC. Breen-8016. Bashlow struck thousands of restrike Confederate cents in bronze, goldine, and silver, but only a mere 50 pieces were minted in aluminum. It is certain that a greater number of numismatists are forming alloy sets. Brilliant aside from a blush of almond-gold toning along the upper left obverse.
