Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 09:13 am @Younosabe, not really my area of collecting, but this sure looks fake to me. It isn't a Bashlow restrike because the dies weren't defaced. Here is a prior CCF thread that may be of some interest: http://goccf.com/t/2137 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 10:11 am The obverse seems especially "mushy" to me. I'd guess it's some sort of modern reproduction, perhaps Chinese in origin. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

Often sold in a bag with copies of a Confederate half dollar, a gold $5.00 and a gold $20.00. You'll find them in the gift shops of many Civil War Battlefield parks and other related historical sites. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

1796NoPole Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 10/13/2018 9:14 pm Chinese fake. Details are extremely soft and surfaces are very flat and artificial. A real Confederate cent would be a six-figure coin. Report this Post to the Staff
