CONFEDERATE STATES: AE restrike cent, 1861, Bashlow restrike, lacquer, PCGS graded UNC Details. 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 in 1961. The most common of these is the Copper (Bronze) restrike of which 20,000 pieces were struck. He also made large numbers of copies struck in Brass (Goldine) and Silver: 5,000 of each were struck. Fifty copies each of the Bashlow Restrike CSA Cent were also struck in the following metals: Nickel-Silver, Lead, Aluminum, Tin, Zinc and Red Fiber (a type of plastic). A few more copies were struck in Gold and Platinum: the number of each struck is reported to be three. The original dies were given to the Smithsonian Institute by Robert Bashlow after his resrikes were sold.
