Confederate States of America
(1961) 1861 Confederate Cent, Bashlow Restrike, Red Fiber, MS63 NGC. Breen-8019. Red fiber was among the more novel alloys for Bashlow's Confederate cent restrike. A mere 50 pieces were struck in that format. As usual for such pieces, the present example lacks the sharpness typically seen in other alloys, and the surfaces are evenly microgranular, as coined. No post-strike imperfections are apparent.
