@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:

The obverse seems especially "mushy" to me. I'd guess it's some sort of modern reproduction, perhaps Chinese in origin.

It's a modern fake. 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.

The Confederate One cent is shown immediately after Civil War Tokens in the recent Red Books.

Chinese fake. Details are extremely soft and surfaces are very flat and artificial. A real Confederate cent would be a six-figure coin.
